Prince William spent time with all 15 of this year’s finalists on Wednesday ahead of tonight’s Earthshot Prize ceremony.
Taking to his official Instagram account, the future king shared a video of his meeting with the finalists with a caption that read: “Their 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 which will feature a host of celebrities and performances from Australian pop star Kylie Minogue and Brazilian musician Gilberto Gil.
During his three-day trip, William seeks to focus on his main philanthropic environmental cause, which aims to find innovations to combat climate change, awarding five winners £1 million each to drive their projects.
His wife Kate, who is in remission after cancer treatment, does not join him.
William has never been to Brazil or Latin America before, while Charles was last there in 2009.
