Coming November 2026

The Earthshot Prize 2026 is coming to Mumbai, India this November!

As a global megacity, Mumbai represents both the environmental challenges and opportunities facing the world today. It is a city defined by pace and possibility – where climate solutions are not just imagined but proven at scale in everyday life.

From clean energy and new technologies to expansive nature restoration, India is proof that economic progress and sustainability can go hand in hand.

It is this leadership, spirit of entrepreneurship and optimism that brings The Earthshot Prize to India for our sixth edition.

A Special Awards Night

Taking place in Mumbai, our sixth annual Awards Night will celebrate India’s leadership, stewardship and culture and culminate in five Earthshot Finalists each winning £1 million to accelerate the impact of their innovative solutions.

More details will follow soon.
