Prince William has launched what has been billed as "the most prestigious global environment prize in history" with Sh7 billion in prize money over 10yrs in an attempt to find solutions to protect and restore the environment.
Five people, organizations or groups will be awarded every year, each going home with Sh141 Million each (1million pounds) slightly more than what Nobel Prize winners take home with an ambitious plan to find 50 solutions to the world's environmental problems.
Starting next year, the Earth shot Prize will be awarded annually, one each in five objectives identified, protecting and restoring nature, cleaning the air, reviving oceans, building a waste-free world and fixing the climate.
