About The Earthshot Prize
The Earthshot Prize (TEP) seeks to unleash urgent optimism and action by discovering, accelerating, awarding, spotlighting and scaling solutions that can repair and regenerate the planet. In 2023, we find ourselves in a world that is going through seismic change. The challenge we face as a global community is to ensure we don’t slip into widespread climate defeatism, anger and anxiety, but rather, fuel a movement of innovation and action through urgent optimism.
This is where our work plays a critical role. The Earthshot Prize Finalists tell the story of possibility, potential, inspiration and optimism. To ensure their solutions have maximum impact, our team works to support and supercharge their incredible innovations world-wide, all while seeking to identify the next cohort of amazing finalists.
We’re a can-do, fast-moving, fail fast and high growth platform on a mission to catalyse millions of people to choose to hope not despair, and to turn anxiety and despair into action and change in this Earthshot Decade.
Our Values

KINDNESS
We believe kindness fuels change. It lifts people up, creates community, reminds us of our power to change lives. It inspires, creates possibility and potential. Kindness thrives in daily moments, in the way we listen and respond, in the way we act. Kindness is a mindset. To us, kindness is at our core, is our metric, is our gift. It is the gift we see others give us daily, for which we express gratitude sincerely and openly.
HONESTY
We value truth and honesty. We know that “clear is kind''. We embrace a culture of radical candor with love, speaking out and up in the name of the mission and the vision and in support of people’s growth and development. We speak truth irrespective of hierarchy or status.
COLLABORATION
We believe in the power of collaboration. System change takes diverse actors partnering in transformative, brave work. That requires deep trust-building, shared values, and value creation. It requires a mindset of reciprocity, abundance, and generosity. Our flywheel is predicated on diverse, transformative strategic partnerships that we build purposefully and mindfully.
CREATIVITY
We value creativity as a key to unlocking magical experiences, and to sparking the human imagination in new ways. We give space to be creative and bring in the voices who will help us achieve this. We see constraints, challenges & opportunities through a prism of how to do things differently and better. We choose to focus on fewer creative opportunities so we can deliver and achieve more.
PURPOSE
We consider our mission and vision in everything we do. We are strategic, proactive, purposeful, intentional in all that we do. We prioritize ruthlessly. We seek only to do that which is additive, unique, and useful. We leverage others who bring unique skills and powers to the table.
