Dame Christiana Figuere

Dame Christiana Figueres stands as a visionary in the fight for our planet’s future, a beacon of hope and action who has inspired millions to believe that a sustainable world is within reach. As the architect of the historic Paris Agreement, she transformed global climate policy by inspiring nearly 200 nations to commit to limiting global temperature rise and championing a vision of resilience, unity, and possibility. Her unwavering optimism and tenacity became a rallying cry for governments, businesses, and citizens worldwide, reminding us that, despite the challenges, we hold the power to rewrite the planet’s story.

Rooted in her family’s legacy of public service, Figueres’ journey is one of compassion, courage, and unyielding faith in humanity’s ability to drive change. Her father, José Figueres Ferrer, a former Costa Rican president, instilled in her a lifelong commitment to democracy, justice, and the environment. After her UNFCCC tenure, she co-founded *Global Optimism* and authored *The Future We Choose*, a powerful call to action that guides individuals and leaders toward a sustainable future with courage and clarity.

Today, as a trustee of the Earthshot Prize, Figueres channels her passion into discovering and elevating breakthrough environmental solutions. Founded by Prince William, this prestigious prize is a celebration of ingenuity and action, rewarding pioneering ideas across five crucial areas: protecting nature, purifying air, reviving oceans, ending waste, and addressing climate change. With Figueres’ influence, the Earthshot Prize has become more than an award—it’s a global movement inspiring hope and mobilizing collective action. Her message is simple yet profound: through courage, unity, and vision, we can heal our planet, and together, we can create a future of harmony, resilience, and beauty for generations to come.

Earthshot Prize

The Earthshot Prize is a visionary environmental award founded by Prince William in 2020 to inspire and accelerate solutions for the world’s most urgent environmental challenges. Named after President John F. Kennedy’s “Moonshot” initiative that mobilized a generation to land humans on the moon, the Earthshot Prize is a call to action to repair and protect our planet over the next decade. Each year, five awards of £1 million are given to innovative solutions that make substantial impacts in five critical areas: nature protection and restoration, air quality improvement, ocean revival, waste elimination, and climate change mitigation.

The Earthshot Prize aims to transform environmental optimism into tangible action by identifying and supporting groundbreaking projects worldwide. Its goal is not only to reward visionaries but to scale their solutions for global adoption. By empowering innovators, scientists, community leaders, and entrepreneurs, the Earthshot Prize helps ensure that effective solutions reach those who can drive change on a massive scale.

The Prize is supported by a distinguished board of trustees, including figures such as Dame Christiana Figueres, who champion the mission to foster hope and momentum in the face of environmental adversity. Through this collective effort, the Earthshot Prize is building a global community united by the belief that, together, we can protect and regenerate the planet, shaping a sustainable future for generations to come.
