Nov. 6 (UPI) -- The Earthshot Prize announced its winners for 2025 Thursday, which include rainforest reforestation, a global oceans treaty and a fashion week.
The prize was created in 2020 by Prince William and environmentalist David Attenborough to recognize and support organizations doing strong environmental work that can help meet environmental goals. The five winners each get a $1.3 million grant to help continue their work.
The awards ceremony was in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, at its Museum of Tomorrow, and was hosted by Brazilian broadcaster Luciano Huck. The event featured performances by pop stars Shawn Mendes and Kylie Minogue. Award presenters included Brazilian football legend Cafu, Olympian Rebeca Andrade and former Formula 1 driver Sebastian Vettel.
Prince William told the crowd that he founded the award to make "this the decade in which we transformed our world for the better."
