At a ceremony last night in Cape Town's eco-dome after the five winners of the £1million awards were announced, he said: "The Earthshot Prize isn't just a celebration of winners. It's a collaborative movement for change."And I now invite you to join the movement for climate innovation that's happening around the world." Guests were asked to "re-wear" their wardrobe or spotlight African designers to show the importance of local talent and sustainable fashion.Appropriately, William wore a Prince of Wales check blazer, right, from a vintage store in London, and trainers by Earthshot finalist Purified Shoes.Stars including model Heidi Klum took to the awards' iconic green carpet.William gave greetings in nine African languages, representing North, East, West and South Africa, adding: "Because that's why we're here. To champion the dreamers, the thinkers and the innovators from every walk of life, who share an ambition to build a better, more sustainable world." Winners picked from 2,500 nominees included Advanced Thermovoltaic Systems, which developed technology to convert waste heat into energy, and an alliance of 119 countries aiming to protect 30% of land and oceans.He also spoke fondly of his 2018 visits to Namibia and Tanzania, which inspired him to create the Earthshot awards.He said: "I saw first-hand the extent to which people were dedicating their time, talent and vision to fixing environmental challenges."However, I believe our world can be rich in possibility, in hope, and in optimism."That is why the Earthshot Prize exists."
