During a discussion panel, he emphasized his ‘optimism’ to the Earthshot price, in which he brought his ability to ‘show all brilliant people who work in this space to improve the planet’.
The prize seems to emphasize and reward some of the best and most innovative environmental solutions with £ 1 million prize pots and mentoring of world class.
Speaking at the Investing for Impact Event said De Prince: ‘What we do here today is of the utmost importance together. Together we have registered for a worldwide dedication to protect 30% of the country and the sea by 2030. This dedication is our best chance of reversing the damage to our planet and restoring well -being.
‘But 2030 has only been removed for five years, and only 17% of the country and only 3% of the ocean is fully protected. Climate and nature-based solutions form the basis of long-term safety, stability and prosperity. More than half of the global GDP depends on nature.
With the natural world in desperate need for protection and recovery, we must support the initiatives that have the greatest impact. The solutions that regenerate the natural world and offer positive market trends also increase the economic opportunities.
“And this is where you all come in. I can say that, as a founder of the Earthshot prize, I am lucky to meet the innovators and changemakers, who work on the most exciting ideas and initiatives to build a better future for our planet.
“But they can’t do it alone. Ideas and initiatives need strong support if they have to scale and realize their incredible potential. And capital, delivered at the right time, in the right way, is the difference between their failure and their success. The even better news is that these initiatives are not only good for our natural world, they are also good long -term investments that offer enormous potential.
‘The finalists of the Earthshot Prize are proof of this. To give only three examples: earlier this year, 2024 Naturemetrics Finalist Naturemetrics successfully collected $ 25 million in his first series B financing to develop groundbreaking biodiversity tools and to bring more organizations and governments around the world.
‘Only this month, winner Coral Vita from 2021 announced that it had closed more than $ 8 million in’ series A financing to promote his mission to restore affected reefs and to regenerate the health of the ocean.
‘And last week 2023 finalist, Colorifix, reached a first closure of a series of B2 round of $ 18 million to transform textile paint without petrochemicals. This brings them from pilot production to global, commercial production.
‘So you see, there are numerous groundbreaking investment options that successfully attract capital to expand their impact.
‘Instead of simply accepting the status quo, we have to support much more if we want to close the gap until 2030. I know this is not a one -way road. We must understand what investors need to flow more capital.
‘This is why events such as those that are so important here today – to open new connections between innovation and finances, to build a better understanding and stronger partnerships to achieve our goals together.
Today I ask you not to withdraw. This is the time to look ahead. Look forward to investments that are covering the climate risk and offer a way to innovation, profit and resilience. This is a huge, untouched opportunity – and one that I am passionate and enthusiastic. Let’s make what we are doing here today, together, really counting. ‘
