Prince William Leads Sixth Earthshot Prize Summit in India

The Earthshot Prize will hold its sixth summit and awards ceremony in Mumbai, India, from November 15 to 17, 2026. Jason Knauf, CEO of the organization, described the event as the largest edition to date, noting that India has produced more finalists and winners than any other country.

As part of the program, 15 global finalists will visit Jaipur before returning to Mumbai for the final ceremony on November 17. The awards ceremony is sponsored by the Serum Institute of India and is expected to be attended by Sachin Tendulkar.

Prince William, the prize's founder, will lead the Global Prize Council in selecting one winner for each of the five environmental categories. Each recipient will receive £1 million to scale their solution. The 2026 finalists include two Indian initiatives: Mahindra Last Mile Mobility, nominated in the Clean Our Air category, and Mahila Housing Trust, nominated in the Fix Our Climate category.
