What's the Earthshot Prize all about?

Prince William arrived in Singapore on Nov. 5. He first greeted hundreds of people at Jewel Changi Airport who warmly received him with cheers and waving Union Jack flags at the HSBC rain vortex.

For the first time in Asia, the Earthshot Prize ceremony is held in Singapore.

Prince William launched the prize in 2020 to recognise and scale solutions to tackle environmental challenges, including climate change. The prize is now in its third iteration.

Pop rock bands OneRepublic and Bastille will be at the ceremony, together with host Emmy winner Hannah Waddingham.

If you wish to tune in, the ceremony telecast will be on Nov. 13 at 9:30pm on Channel 5 in Singapore. There will also be The Earthshot Prize’s YouTube premiere which begins at 1:30am on Nov. 13, after which it will be available on the channel all day.
