DP World partner of environmental prize
DP World together with Expo 2020 Dubai has become a global alliance founding partner of a prestigious environmental prize.
Taking inspiration from John F. Kennedy’s Moonshot, which united millions of people around the world to put a man on the moon, The Earthshot Prize is centred around five “Earthshots”. To protect and restore nature, to clean our air, to revive our oceans, to build a waste-free world and to fix our climate. If the goals are achieved before the decade is complete each will improve life on earth for generations to come.
Sultan Ahmed Bin Sulayem, group chairman and CEO of DP World, said: “At DP World we believe in protecting our people and our planet through world-class safety and environmental standards. We focus on making a positive impact on economies and societies wherever we work, so we are proud to be a Global Alliance Founding Partner of The Earthshot Prize.”
Together the Earthshots form a unique set of challenges, rooted in science, which aim to generate new ways of thinking, as well as new technologies, systems, policies and solutions. Five prize winners will be awarded each year for ten years. The aim is to provide at least fifty solutions to the world’s greatest problems by 2030.
The Earthshot Prize has been established by Prince William and is an initiative by the Royal Foundation of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge.
