Prince William spent time on Wednesday with this year’s 15 finalists ahead of tonight’s Earthshot Prize awards ceremony.
On his official Instagram account, the future king shared a video of his meeting with the finalists with the following caption: “Their ideas and innovations have the power to change the future of our planet.”
Prince William arrived in Brazil on Monday to attend the awards ceremony where he will be one of the hosts.
The winners will be announced at a ceremony that will feature a host of celebrities and performances from Australian popstar Kylie Minogue and Brazilian musician Gilberto Gil.
During his three-day trip, William is looking to focus on his main environmental philanthropic cause, which aims to find innovations to combat climate change, and is rewarding five winners with one million pounds each to carry out their projects.
His wife Kate, in remission after cancer treatment, will not join him.
William has never been to Brazil or Latin America before, while Charles last visited in 2009.
