Hosting the ‘Earthshot Prize Awards Night’ will mark a new chapter in his career.
The ‘Earthshot Prize’ is an annual award dedicated to environmental conservation and the goal of making the Earth’s future safer and healthier. This award honors individuals and organizations for innovative solutions and inventions related to the environment.
