NEW YORK CITY—Prince William and The Earthshot Prize announced on September 19 the Coastal 500—including the Philippines—as one of the 15 finalists for the 2023 prize.
The Coastal 500, which Rare helped launch in 2021, is among three finalists in the Revive Our Oceans category. The winners will be announced in Singapore on November 7.Each of the finalists will receive one of five £1 million prizes awarded at the third-annual Earthshot Prize awards ceremony in Singapore .
The support includes access to the prize’s robust network of influential businesses, investors, and climate experts, including The Earthshot Prize’s Global Alliance of Partners, which is comprised of some of the world’s largest businesses, donors, investors and environmental organizations committed to climate action.
The Coastal 500 leaders represent communities adjacent to coastal waters, which are high in biodiversity and critical habitats, but are under enormous pressure from climate change, overfishing, pollution, and other human activity. It has also served as a valuable platform for peer-to-peer learning, technical and network support, and advocacy development for coastal leaders from all over the world.
For his part, Rare CEO Brett Jenks said: “The concept of the Coastal 500 is rooted in Rare’s belief that locally-led solutions achieve the greatest impact for people and nature.”
