“Ethical Markets welcomes this EARTHSHOT PRIZE initiative by UK’s Prince William, supported by David Attenborough, along with all the climate aware leaders serving on its global Council. Their urgency recognizes that we humans have ten years to change course and clean up our past mistakes, using all our tools and harnessing the free photons from our Sun now to create the cleaner, more equitable, inclusive, knowledge-richer green future we call the Solar Age!
