On Wednesday he will participate in the awards ceremony for the Earthshot Prize, which gives five winners one million pounds each to pursue projects addressing climate change and other environmental issues.Its name is a nod to former US President John F. Kennedy’s ambitious “moonshot” project which led to the 1969 lunar landing.
“By the end of the week, I want The Earthshot Prize to have provided a platform to all those innovators bringing about change for their communities, encouraged potential investors to speed African solutions to scale and inspired young people across Africa who are engaged in climate issues,” he said in a statement ahead of the visit.
