Join us for an emotional and joyful journey as they relive the moment they won in a 4-part video series on The Earthshot Prize YouTube channel, starting tomorrow.

Daily dose of Optimism: As Peter Ducker said, "The best way to create the future is to build the future". At The Earthshot Prize, we believe in the power of creativity and innovation to create the future. We believe in people around the world reclaiming agency over their future and fixing the world, one solution at a time. We believe in the game-changers, the change-makers, the creators, the builders, the dreamers and the do-ers. Because of them, we wake up daily with optimism about the future they're creating for all of us. We also wake up each day with a renewed sense of urgency. Time is ticking and history is being written. We must all go faster, bigger, braver and bolder. This is our singular call to action to those with influence and capital: Speed solutions to scale. Because the innovators can create the future, but together, we need to speed the future towards us faster than ever before. And that is a collective endeavour requiring more courage and collaboration than ever before. Thank you to our incredible Founding Partners Bloomberg Philanthropies for hosting and convening courageous conversations with incredible people. Thank you to everyone who has said yes to joining us on the 24th. Together we are a movement for change and action.
Can't wait to hear from these incredible speakers at the #EarthshotInnovationSummit taking place on September 24th in New York City 🗽✨ https://lnkd.in/eZaB3MDG
