Winners will be revealed in Rio de Janeiro on November 5 during Earthshot Week.

Overview

  • re.green restores large deforested areas to generate carbon credits using drones, artificial intelligence and native-species genetics.
  • The Brazil-proposed Tropical Forests Forever Fund (TFFF) offers results-based payments for preservation and counts 12 signatory countries, with a launch planned for COP30 in Belém.
  • The Earthshot Prize awards £1 million to each category winner to help scale proven environmental solutions.
  • The High Seas Treaty also features among finalists as global ratification passes 60 countries, with entry into force set for January following Brazil’s Senate approval of accession.
