Prince William and Princess Kate are currently taking a break from their royal duties to enjoy the Easter holidays with their children. Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis recently finished their term at Lambrook School, and their parents are making the most of some family time together. However, Prince William briefly interrupted their break on Tuesday to share an important announcement.
It has been confirmed that former Prime Minister of New Zealand, Jacinda Ardern, has joined the Board of Trustees for William’s Earthshot Prize. The Earthshot Prize is a prestigious award that aims to incentivize environmental innovation and progress towards solving the world’s greatest environmental problems.
In a statement released by Prince William, he expressed his honor in welcoming Jacinda Ardern to the @earthshotprize team. He praised her lifelong commitment to supporting sustainable and environmental solutions, along with her experience as Prime Minister of New Zealand. He also thanked her for her early support and advice, which was crucial to the Prize’s early success.
Jacinda Ardern herself was also excited about the appointment, expressing her humbleness and eagerness to work with the Earthshot team. She believes that the Earthshot Prize has the power to encourage innovation and optimism, and she hopes to support and accelerate the solutions that the Prize seeks to incentivize.
The Earthshot Prize Innovation Summit in New York held in September 2022 was an important event for the Prize, and Jacinda Ardern was one of the key speakers. In her speech, she highlighted the critical need for innovation to positively alter the course of our environmental trajectory. She also called on political leaders and the private sector to support and invest in the solutions that the Earthshot Prize aims to incentivize.
The appointment of Jacinda Ardern to the Board of Trustees of the Earthshot Prize is a significant development. It shows that the Prize is gaining traction and attracting prominent figures in the environmental and political world. It also highlights the commitment of Prince William and other supporters to making a positive impact on the environment and incentivizing solutions to the world’s greatest environmental challenges.
