On Wednesday, Prince William spent time with this year’s 15 finalists ahead of tonight’s Earthshot Prize ceremony.
On his official Instagram account, the future king shared a video of his meeting with the finalists with a caption that read: “Your ideas and innovations have the power to change the future of our planet.”
Prince William arrived in Brazil on Monday to attend the awards ceremony where he will be one of the hosts.
The winners will be announced at a ceremony featuring a host of celebrities and performances by Australian pop star Kylie Minogue and Brazilian musician Gilberto Gil.
During his three-day trip, William looks to focus on his main philanthropic environmental cause, which aims to find innovations to combat climate change, and awards five winners £1 million each to further their projects.
His wife Kate, who is in remission after cancer treatment, will not join him.
William had never been to Brazil or Latin America before, while Charles last went in 2009.
