Donate to support families affected by the crisis in Ukraine ➔ The Earthshot Prize 2022 Performance Highlights: Billie Eilish, Ellie Goulding, Chloe x Halle, Annie Lennox
The Earthshot Prize 2022 took place at the MGM Music Hall at Fenway in Boston, United States on December 2, 2022.
The ceremony was broadcast in the UK on BBC One and in the US on PBS.
The Earthshot Prize is awarded to five winners each year for their contributions to environmentalism.
Each winner receives a grant of £1 million to continue their environmental work. The five categories were inspired by the UN Sustainable Development Goals; they are “the restoration and protection of nature”, “air cleanliness”, “ocean revival”, “waste-free living”, and “climate action”.
The Earthshot Prize was launched in 2020 by Prince William and David Attenborough. The winners are selected by the Earthshot Prize Council, which includes Prince William and Attenborough.
This year’s awards featured performances from Singer-Songwriter and activist Annie Lennox; Grammy award-winning Singer-Songwriter Billie Eilish accompanied by her brother and creative partner, FINNEAS; R&B duo Chloe x Halle and platinum selling artist and activist Ellie Goulding.- 2022 Award Winners List
