The Earthshot Prize, initiated by Prince William and the Royal Foundation in October 2020, is a remarkable global endeavour dedicated to inspiring environmental innovation and solutions. Modelled after President John F. Kennedy’s “Moonshot” challenge, this prestigious award aims to tackle the most pressing issues facing our planet. Since its inception, it has been celebrating visionaries and their ground-breaking contributions to a more sustainable world. Let’s take a closer look at some of the Earthshot Prize winners for 2023 and the incredible work they are doing to combat climate change, protect biodiversity, and preserve our planet for future generations.
Welcome to the inaugural edition of Reddie & Grose’s Sustainable Innovation report: an investigation into the start ups, companies, and technology transfer offices making significant contributions to inventions with the potential to address the climate and ecological crises.
Yesterday, the UK Government launched their plans for reviving the British nuclear industry with the snappily-titled “Great British Nuclear” scheme (GBN). Delivering new and advanced nuclear power was first announced as part of the Government’s Ten Point Plan for a Green Industrial Revolution in November 2020, and the Government hope that a suite of home-grown “green energy” solutions – including nuclear – will cut greenhouse gas emissions while increasing the UK’s energy security in the wake of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
Following a successful first year, the cohort of finalists for Year 2 of the Earthshot Prize have now been announced. Over 1000 nominations from 100 countries have been narrowed down to fifteen finalists, three in each of the five categories – the “Earthshots” – Protect and Restore Nature, Clean Our Air, Revive Our Oceans, Build A Waste Free World and Fix Our Climate.

Although the UK has long contributed to the design and development of commercial and military satellites, these satellites have been launched from locations outside of the UK. However, in recent years there has been a growth in the design, development and launch of so called “Smallsats”. The low mass and form factor of a Smallsat allows a consequent reduction in the size, complexity and cost of launch vehicle required. The use of a polar orbit also provides opportunities for space launches from countries whose land mass is far away from the equator… such as the UK.
Last month global leaders of politics, industry, and economics gathered for the annual meeting of the World Economic Forum. The event brought 3,000 stakeholders from around the world to the exclusive Swiss ski resort of Davos to discuss sustainability and the climate crisis. As always, the town was covered in a beautiful blanket of snow. But this may not be the case for much longer. The climate crisis discussed in Davos is wreaking slow havoc in mountain resorts around the world. The Alpine setting for the conference about climate change couldn’t have been more apposite. Rising global temperatures has shortened the average ski season by 38 days since 1960.
