As Prince William, founder of The Earthshot Prize, said, 'The Earth is at a tipping point and we face a stark choice: either we continue as we are and irreparably damage our planet, or we remember our unique power as human beings and our continual ability to lead, innovate, and problem-solve. People can achieve great things. The next ten years present us with one of our greatest tests - a decade of action to repair the Earth.' The Earthshot concept is simple: Urgency + Optimism = Action. We have ten years to turn the tide on the environmental crisis, but we need the world's best solutions and one shared goal - to save our planet. It's not too late, but we need collective action now. The Earthshots are unifying, ambitious goals for our planet which, if achieved by 2030, will improve life for all of us, for the rest of life on Earth, and for generations to come. They are to: Protect and Restore Nature Clean our Air Revive our Oceans Build a Waste-Free World Fix our Climate EARTHSHOT: HOW TO SAVE OUR PLANETis the first definitive book about how these goals can tackle the environmental crisis. It is a critical contribution to the most important story of the decade. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Inhaltsangabe

Launched by Prince William and The Royal Foundation of The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge in 2020, and inspired by President Kennedy's 'Moonshot ', The Earthshot Prize is the most ambitious and prestigious award of its kind. It aims to discover and scale the best solutions to help repair our planet over the next 10 years. Every year from 2021 until 2030, The Earthshot Prize will find and reward inclusive solutions to five 'Earthshot ' goals: Protect and restore nature; Clean our air; Revive our oceans; Build a waste-free world; and Fix our climate. EARTHSHOT: HOW TO SAVE OUR PLANET will be the authoritative book of The Earthshot Prize, highlighting the urgency of the environmental challenges facing our world while also providing readers with inspirational case studies of the incredible solutions happening globally to repair our planet. The book will be published alongside a landmark 5-part BBC One TV series in the autumn, created by Butfield and Hughes. The creative heads behind the phenomenally successful documentary David Attenborough: A Life on Our Planet and long-time advisors to The Earthshot Prize, the two co-authors have unparalleled access to the people, science and imagery behind the project. Their significant TV credits include The Hunt, Our Planet and A Life on Our Planet. The book will also feature contributions from Members of The Earthshot Prize Council, including Christiana Figueres, co-founder of Global Optimism and former UN Climate Chief responsible for delivery of the landmark Paris Agreement on Climate Change, singer and philanthropist Shakira Mebarak, environmental activist Hindou Oumarou Ibrahim, former astronaut onboard the International Space Station Naoko Yamazaki, and broadcaster and natural historian Sir David Attenborough. The Earthshot Prize Council is a global team of influential individuals who will be responsible for awarding The Earthshot Prize every year from 2021 until 2030.
