In an exclusive op-ed for HuffPost published Friday, William wrote about why being in the U.S. is so meaningful for his second-ever environmental awards ceremony, which was inspired by John F. Kennedy’s “moonshot.”
“I believe in the power of human ingenuity and I’m thrilled to bring The Earthshot Prize to the U.S.,” the Prince of Wales wrote. “This week, in Boston, we want to demonstrate what we can all do to help put the world on a path toward a stable climate, where communities, nature and oceans thrive in harmony.”
The Earthshot Awards will take place at MGM Music Hall at Fenway.
The royal also spoke about the importance of optimism, telling readers that “dire predictions about our natural world aren’t the only side to this story and they don’t have to be our future.”
“In this critical decade, I invite you all to be optimistic, to support the game-changers and to believe in the power of human ingenuity,” he wrote.
The awards show and its green ― not red ― carpet will take place on Friday at the MGM Music Hall at Fenway. It will be hosted by “Lost” actor Daniel Dae Kim and broadcaster Clara Amfo.
