Prince William's African Adventure: A Focus on Climate and Conservation
Cape Town, South AfricaMon Nov 04 2024
Prince William is kicking off a four-day trip to South Africa, with a big focus on climate change and the environment. He'll chat with young environmentalists, hang out with local fishermen, and even join a rugby practice at a local school. The highlight of his visit? The Earthshot Prize ceremony, where he'll give away $1. 2 million to five innovative organizations working on environmental issues. But it's not just about handing out prizes. William wants to shine a light on important topics like conservation and the work of rangers. Africa holds a special place in William's heart, and he hopes to inspire young people across the continent to take action against climate change. This trip comes shortly after his brother Prince Harry visited South Africa for a youth charity. The Earthshot Prize, launched in 2020, aims to encourage new ideas to solve environmental problems. This year's awards will be held in a temporary, eco-friendly dome in Cape Town.
