Su primer viaje a los Estados Unidos en ocho años llegó a su punto culminante el viernes, mientras entregaron los premios Earthshot Prize Awards, pero también tuvieron otras apariciones programadas a lo largo del día. Además, el presidente Joe Biden también estuvo en la ciudad y se reunió con el príncipe William.
LOS EARTHSHOT PRIZE AWARDS
El viaje de la pareja real culminó el viernes por la noche en el nuevo MGM Music Hall para los Earthshot Prize Awards, el motivo principal de su viaje a Boston.
Earthshot es el desafío global fundado en 2020 por el Príncipe William y la Royal Foundation en un esfuerzo por recompensar a quienes trabajan para reparar el planeta.
El premio contó con 15 finalistas -incluyendo una finalista de origen hispano-, para elegir a cinco ganadores, todo durante una celebración del planeta y la conservación repleta de celebridades.
El Príncipe y la Princesa de Gales finalmente anunciaron a los nuevos ganadores de los Premios Earthshot durante la ceremonia del viernes, tras un riguroso proceso de selección centrado en identificar las soluciones más inspiradoras, impactantes e inclusivas.
Los cinco ganadores de 2022 son:
Limpiar nuestro aire: Mukuru Clean Stoves, Kenia
Proteger y restaurar la naturaleza: Kheyti, India
Revivir nuestros océanos: mujeres indígenas de la Gran Barrera de Coral, Australia
Construir un mundo libre de residuos: Notpla, Reino Unido
Arreglar nuestro clima: 44.01, Omán
Cada ganador recibió un premio de un millón de libras esterlinas (aproximadamente $1,230,000) en la segunda ceremonia anual de los Earthshot Prize.
Durante la ceremonia el Príncipe de Gales mostró su pasión por la iniciativa. “Creo que las soluciones de Earthshot que han visto esta noche demuestran que podemos superar los mayores desafíos de nuestro planeta. Y al apoyarlos y escalarlos podemos cambiar nuestro futuro. Junto con los ganadores y finalistas de esta noche, y los que se descubrirán en los próximos años, espero que el legado de Earthshot continúe creciendo, ayudando a nuestras comunidades y a nuestro planeta a prosperar”, dijo.
