EarthShot Awards | UK's Prince William to visit SA for environmental awards in November

Prince William will be travelling to South Africa for the EarthShot Awards. This year's finalists were selected from nearly 2 500 nominees from 75 countries. Prince William's visit will further cement the cultural relations between South Africa and the United Kingdom. The EarthShot Prize is a global environmental award that is awarded to five winners each year for their contributions towards environmentalism. Each winner receives a grant of 1-million pounds to continue their environmental work. The five categories were inspired by the UN Sustainable Development Goals; they are 'restoration and protection of nature', 'air cleanliness', 'ocean revival', 'waste-free living' and 'climate action'. Earlier SABC International News Editor Sophie Mokoena spoke to the UK High Commissioner to South Africa Antony Phillipson.
