The prince spoke in a brief trailer and said that this was a moment for hope and not for fear.
I launched the Earthshot Prize, which is the most ambitious environmental prize ever created.

Sir David Attenborough, who also hosts the show, tells viewers to imagine what is possible.
Inspiring himself from John F Kennedys Moonshot Project, which helped mankind achieve greatness, the prince selected 15 finalists from around this globe earlier in the month.
The winners included a 14 year old girl from India who designed a solar-powered ironing machine, Costa Rica, which pioneered a project that paid local citizens to restore natural ecosystems, as well as a Chinese app that allows citizens to hold polluters accountable.
