royalty royalty.

KIM: Mm.
(Amfo chuckles)

But mainly, we're in the
presence

of environmental royalty,

as we find out
who will be presented

with an Earthshot Prize.

Kind of like the Oscars
for the Earth, right?

- Yeah, but without the slightly
excessive goodie bags.

- Ah.
- Even better still,

the five prize winners
from all across the world

will be getting
£1 million

in schools and communities right
here in Boston after the awards.

- Mm-hmm.

And it's all about reusing
what we already have.

Everyone here tonight,
including us,

has been asked
to embrace preloved outfits,

and may I say, Clara,
you look fabulous.

- Well, thank you very much.
- (chuckles)

- A black dress--
forever reusable, my friend.

- Absolutely, absolutely.

Well, I've been wearing
the same socks for a week,

so I got that going for me.

- You smell fantastic.
- You're welcome.

- This year, the Earthshot
has come to Boston,

and there's a very good
reason why.

One of the most celebrated sons
of this great city

was the inspiration behind
the Earthshot Prize.

KIM: It's rooted in his ambition

to put an astronaut
on the moon within the decade.

He called it "the Moonshot."
Take a look.

♪ ♪

(projector whirring)

- We choose to go to the moon
in this decade

and do the other things,
not because they are easy,

but because they are hard.

(crowd applauds)

CAROLINE KENNEDY:
60 years ago, my father,

President John F. Kennedy,
announced his moonshot,

declaring that America would
send a man to the moon

within a decade.

- We meet in an hour of change

and challenge, in a decade
of hope and fear,

in an age of both
knowledge and ignorance.

JACK SCHLOSSBERG: If my
generation wants a better world,

then we need to build it
ourselves.

That's what President Kennedy
believed,

and that's what
powered his moonshot.

CAROLINE KENNEDY: It was a bold
vision and a leap of faith.

No one knew if it was possible,

but my father
believed that great challenges

are great opportunities,

and that together,
we could reach the stars.

We're excited

that the Earthshot Prize is here
in Boston,

a city committed to science
and progress

and the fight to repair
the planet.

- Because that challenge is one

that we're willing to accept,

one we are unwilling to
postpone,

and one we intend to win.

(crowd applauds)

CAROLINE KENNEDY: Today, his
powerful words still resonate.

They've become the inspiration
for the Earthshot Prize

as we take on the most urgent
challenge we face,

repairing and restoring
our planet within the decade.

♪ ♪

The impossible is possible.

(cheering, applause)

- Absolutely.

"Impossible" is not a word
we use around here.

- Which is why,
when we were asked to send

the founder of the Earthshot
Awards

somewhere he could see all

the wonders of our planet,
we said,

"Okay, we know just the place."
- Mm.

Yes, it's a bit
off the beaten track,

and the atmosphere is not
that great,

but the view is
out of this world.

That's right-- we, Clara and I,
sent him to the moon.

- Of the many wonders of
the natural world that surround

each of us every day,
it is only from space

that we can fully comprehend
the gift that is our home.

Earth holds such splendor
and gives us many things--

beauty, curiosity, joy,

For too long, many of us
have taken for granted

everything our planet gives us.

We have polluted our atmosphere

many unique habitats.

This year, we have seen
the influence of climate change

like never before,
with record-high temperatures

and extreme weather events

causing devastation
across every continent,

affecting people's health
and livelihoods.

The urgency needed to save
the planet is ever-accelerating,

while the time we have to make
meaningful changes

is ebbing away.

But just as President
John F. Kennedy had faith

that humankind could put a man
on the moon,

I have the same faith today
that we can repair

and regenerate our planet
in this critical decade.

From moonshot to Earthshot,

the seemingly unsolvable
can be solved.

- Thank you.

It wasn't long ago
that the scientists

who warned us about climate
change were regarded eccentric.

At that time, most people
hadn't yet experienced

the effects of climate change
for themselves.

But now, examples of all that
they predicted

are happening across the world.

Forest fires, flooding, storms,
landslides, droughts,

and unprecedented temperatures,

with the last seven years being
the hottest on record.

But the human spirit loves
a challenge.

Tonight's finalists

ANNOUNCER: 44.01, eliminating
CO2 from the atmosphere.

MAN: Excess CO2
in our atmosphere

is destabilizing our climate.

Our solution takes captured CO2

and permanently
turns it into rock.

By speeding up the natural
process of mineralization,

we can remove carbon
from the atmosphere

and help reduce
rising temperatures.

ANNOUNCER: Lanzatech,

transforming pollution into
essential day-to-day products.

WOMAN: We have found
a way to recycle carbon

by harnessing the power
of biology,

artificial intelligence,
and engineering.

We take carbon dioxide
and convert it to ethanol.

Then we can use that ethanol to
make everyday items,

enabling a new circular carbon
economy where it is

reused rather than wasted.

ANNOUNCER:
Low Carbon Materials,

making construction greener.

WOMAN: Construction around
the globe emits huge amounts

of pollution and CO2,

and concrete has a big part to
play in this.

The production of
some common ingredients

in concrete are
carbon-intensive.

We've created an
alternative ingredient

made of waste materials that
would otherwise be burnt

or sent to landfill that can be
added to concrete

to make it net-zero.

MALEK: The award for Fix Our
Climate and the first

Earthshot of 2022 goes to...

44.01.

Absolutely brilliant.
Let's find out more.

♪ ♪

TALAL HASAN: Growing up in Oman
was an absolute privilege.

Pristine beaches,
corals, and desert.

My biggest influence
growing up was my uncle.

He introduced me to camping,
to the desert,

to the beach, even
snorkeling and scuba diving.

He taught me we should always
leave the environment

in a better condition than when
we first arrived.

Around four years ago,
I came across an article

about the dead zone
off the coast of Oman.

A dead zone is an area
of the sea

where there's little or no
oxygen content.

It's very difficult for most
marine life to survive

and thrive in those conditions.

The dead zone here in our region

is about the size of Florida.

Carbon dioxide is
the number-one greenhouse gas

that's emitted today.

And as that carbon dioxide gets
absorbed by our oceans,

this intensifies the dead zone.

I found that there are very few
solutions out there

that could help us permanently
remove carbon dioxide at scale,

and this is when I came across
Professor Juerg's research.

- I'm Juerg Matter, I'm the
sub-surface lead of 44.01.

Our solution is, we capture
carbon dioxide

from the atmosphere,
we dissolve it in water,

which is basically
a sparkling water.

- And we inject that
into the sub-surface,

into the geological underground,
where it reacts

with peridotite rocks.

By speeding up the natural
process of mineralization,

we can remove carbon
from the atmosphere

and help reduce climate change.

Nature shows us how to do it,

we just need to speed up what
nature is doing.

♪ ♪

In Oman, we have one
of the world's largest

deposits of this rock.

We've just completed
the first pilot,

and now we need to improve
the technology

before we can really
scale this globally.

Climate change is
a massive challenge,

and we need every tool
in our toolbox

to tackle this challenge.

Thinking back to when I was
younger and I was in the desert

camping with my uncle,
I had a lot of hopes

and dreams for the future
of the climate,

and today we're in a position
to actually contribute

to the fight
against climate change.

This really is the legacy of
the values my uncle taught me,

and for him to get to see what
I'm doing makes me very proud.

(cheering, applause)

- Massive congratulations,
Talal and 44.01.

Talal, tell us,
is your superstar

of an uncle there to help
you celebrate?

- He is here,
and I'm really pleased

to share this moment with him.

It's a proud day for all of us
here at 44.01.

And I just want to say a massive
thank you to the team

and to everyone else who's
supported us along this journey.

We started 44.01 two years ago

when we saw the very real
impact climate change

was having on our country
here in Oman.

Climate change
is a massive challenge,

and it gives us hope seeing all
these finalists here today.

We're so grateful
to the Earthshot Prize

for helping us with
this vital fight.

Let's find out more
about their affordable

and clean-cook stoves for homes
in Kenya and beyond.

CHARLOT MAGAYI: When you're
using a traditional stove

to cook, it emits toxic smoke,
it causes respiratory illnesses,

it can cause lung cancer.

♪ ♪

I grew up in Mukuru, it's one
of the biggest slums in Nairobi.

I was orphaned at the age
of ten years, and at 16,

I became a teenage mom.

I would use a traditional stove
to cook for my daughter,

and when she turned two, she
suffered a severe burn injury

caused by a stove.

She passed by the stove,
kicked it, and it fell on her.

And it was horrible.

I wasn't sure if she
was still alive.

It took a while, but once she
was able to recover,

I went to college, and
initially,

I wanted to just build
a more stable stove

to limit the
risk of burns in children,

and learned about the effects
of household air pollution.

And that's how Mukuru Clean
Stoves was born.

We use waste metal
to manufacture

improved cook stoves.

The way we designed our stove,

it retains a lot of heat,
so it allows for the fuel

that you're using to burn
for longer,

eliminating toxic smoke
that would be produced

on a traditional stove.

♪ ♪

So you're reducing the carbon

that is emitted into
the atmosphere.

So it's a double benefit
for the local communities

and climate change.

BEATRICE OLANDO
(speaking Swahili):

MAGAYI: The people that a Mukuru
Stove impacts

the most are women and girls,

as they're the ones who spend
hours collecting firewood

and using traditional stoves
to cook for their families.

It enables young girls to be
able to go to school,

focus on education.

So it's beneficial
for their health,

it's beneficial for the
local environment.

- I'm proud of my mom

because she inspires young
girls.

When I grow up,
I want to be like her.

MAGAYI:
My ambition is to eradicate

household air pollution.

And because we are all
collectively

joining hands to do our part,

I believe we are going to be
able to repair the planet.

(cheering, applause)

AMFO: Wow. Wow, wow, wow.

Charlot, I think we all
want to be a lot more

like you, so tell us:
how does it feel to win?

- Thank you.
It is a great honor to win

the Earthshot Prize and
to receive this recognition.

To the Mukuru Clean Stoves team
for your dedication to providing

a better cooking technology
and helping clean our air,

congratulations.

It's also really great to
celebrate with

my daughter
and her classmates today.

I hope the work we do really
impacts their generation

and future generations.

In 2017, I set out
to help women in Mukuru

reduce household air pollution.

Five years later,
200,000 households

use a Mukuru stove,
and the Earthshot Prize

is going to help us reach
the next one million households,

impacting the lives
of five million people

who will now benefit from
cleaner air within their homes

PIERRE: Billions of single-use
plastics are used every year.

They break down into
microplastics,

which find their way into our
oceans, food, and our bodies.

Our reliance on plastic has
gone on for far too long.

We have to stop.

It's time to find
a new solution.

RODRIGO: And what if that
solution came from the ocean?

PIERRE: But our story doesn't
start here in Wales.

It starts in a student apartment
in London back in 2012.

♪ ♪

We met each other on the
first day of university.

We messed around in the
kitchen day and night.

For us, what was really
important is to use things

that would be very renewable,

that would not be chemically
modified, and that would

essentially be completely easy
for nature

to deal with at end
of life.

We tried to make packaging
that was actually edible.

- And quite early on we found
out that seaweed

was a really great candidate.

PIERRE: We researched and
researched;

it was painstakingly
time-consuming.

RODRIGO: We were close to giving
up, but the breakthroughs

we were making by using seaweed
started to get noticed.

PIERRE:
We were onto something

that could have
a lot of potential.

Seaweed is an amazing
material--

it grows incredibly fast, with
some species able

to grow over 30 centimeters per
day.

RODRIGO: As it grows, it absorbs
carbon dioxide,

so it has the potential to
tackle climate change.

PIERRE: The Notpla team has been
working really hard to develop

products such as consumable
liquid sachets,

ketchup sachets, takeaway boxes.

We developed a coating that we
put onto takeaway food boxes.

Typically, they have a thin
layer of plastic

and we replaced that with
seaweed,

so that the whole packaging

is completely natural and
biodegradable.

Prize will give us a platform

to not only scale up our
operations,

but it will help those in the
industry

to see what is possible.

PIERRE: What gives me hope is
that nature

has all the solutions already.

Seaweed has been around for
billions of years,

so wherever it ends up,

nature knows exactly how to
break it down.

That means that if we fail as
humans to collect our waste,

we're not leaving behind
something

that nature cannot
deal with.

I want to thank the whole
Notpla team who's been working

so hard to make this innovation
come to life,

and everyone who's been
supporting us along the journey.

And I want to thank also
the Earthshot Prize for creating

such an amazing platform
and believing in our solution.

No one wants to live in a world
full of plastic,

but it's not too late to act.

- We all have a role
to play on it.

Let's shout louder
about the change

we want to see in the world

and let's make
plastic disappear!

(all laughing, cheering)

- Excellent.
Protect and Restore Nature.

That's not an order,
though I really wish

I had that superpower.

It is, however, the category

That's nature for you.

Unfortunately,
we often see the natural world

only as an obstacle

Sometimes we can't see
the forest for the factory.

Tonight's nominees for
Restore and Protect Nature

know that nature is our friend,

secure the health and welfare

of all beautiful life-forms.
Here are the nominees.

ANNOUNCER:
Kheyti, modular greenhouses.

MAN: We've developed an
affordable, modular greenhouse

that can play a vital role
in protecting crops

from the unpredictable impacts

of changing weather systems

linked to climate change,

helping give farmers
a steady income.

We believe our greenhouses
can bring

a greener and more sustainable
future

to vulnerable smallholder

ANNOUNCER: Desert
Agricultural Transformation.

MAN (speaking Mandarin):

Our solution is desert
agricultural transformation.

ANNOUNCER: Hutan,
conserving threatened habitats

and wildlife species.

WOMAN: In Borneo, historic
forest exploitation

has resulted in rain forest

being fragmented to a tipping
point,

leaving wildlife with too little
room to live.

By changing perceptions and
mindsets

through collaboration, research,

KAUSHIK: A majority
of the food in the world

is grown by 500 million
smallholder farmers.

♪ ♪

In India, there are
100 million of them.

(thunder rumbles)

But unpredictable weather
systems linked to climate change

put them at a high risk
of poverty.

This year, we saw the hottest
month India has ever had

since records began
over 120 years ago.

Just one bad harvest can
reduce their income to zero.

SATHYA: I was about 17 years old
when I saw a farmer

in my village eating mud.

He looked into my eyes
and said, "My crops have failed.

My stomach doesn't know
that my pocket is empty."

When Kaushik and I met, we were
determined to do something.

KAUSHIK: We spent six months
talking to a thousand farmers

across India to understand what
their challenges are

and how we could solve them.

We got together a team
of engineers, scientists,

and designers from
around the world

to co-create
our Kheyti greenhouses.

SATHYA:
For our greenhouses to work,

we needed them to be affordable
and modular.

Only then can the farmers invest
in their future

and adapt the design
for their plot of land.

KAUSHIK: The simple structure
sits on a small portion

of a farmer's field
and can be more sustainable

than traditional greenhouses
seen on large farms.

They use less water
than in open cultivation.

Climate risk is decreased
for the farmer

and more crops can be grown
in a smaller space,

which leads to less land being
needed for agriculture.

MAN (speaking Telugu):

KAUSHIK: To make sure
our farmers succeed,

we provide quality seeds,
training, and advice.

SATHYA: We work with a wholesale
vegetable market that sells

the produce of Kheyti farmers
to local vendors.

MAN (speaking Telugu):

Today we work with about
a thousand farmers

across six states of India.

Over the next ten years,
we want to scale that

to a million farmers directly,
but also inspire

a smart farming revolution
around the world.

SATHYA: I dream of a day
where smallholder farmer

equals a happy farmer,

and being forced to eat mud

should never happen
anywhere again.

(cheering, applause)

- Such important work.

What would you like
to share with us

now that you've won this award?

- A thousand thanks to the
Earthshot Prize for this honor.

The idea of Kheyti started
with a simple dream

that the hard work
of half a billion farmers

across the world should pay off.

The only reason that vision
persevered is because others

shared that dream--
our team, our families,

and, most importantly,
the thousand-plus farmers

who have taken trust in us
and taken a chance with us.

Congratulations to all of them.
This is just the beginning.

We aim to help a million farmers
over the next ten years,

and this prize can
help us invest

in a solid foundation
for that ambition.

Thank you for helping us ignite
the smart farmer revolution.

all so grateful for the welcome

we've received this evening
here in Boston

over the last few days.

When I founded this prize
in 2020,

it was with the ambition
to harness

the same spirit of ingenuity

that inspired
President John F. Kennedy

to challenge the American people

to put a person on the moon
within a decade.

So it has been an honor
to share the stories

of our Earthshot winners

from the heart of his hometown.

I believe that
the Earthshot solutions

you have seen this evening
prove we can

overcome our planet's
greatest challenges.

And by supporting
and scaling them,

we can change our future.

Alongside tonight's
winners and finalists,

and those to be discovered
over the years to come,

it's my hope the Earthshot
legacy will continue to grow,

helping our communities
and our planet to thrive.

And in the same way
the space effort

six decades ago created jobs,

boosted economies,
and provided hope,

so too can the solutions born

of tonight's
Earthshot Prize winners.

The decisions we make now
will affect generations to come.

Which is why we must choose
the path of hope,

optimism, and urgency
