BBC joins hands with Prince William and Silverback films for Earthshot climate crisis series

BBC is working with Our Planet producer Silverback Films on a five-part climate crisis series that will mark the launch of Prince William’s Earthshot Prize.

Inspired by John F Kennedy’s Moonshot, the Earthshot Prize will hand out million-pound grants to people working on evidence-based solutions to the world’s biggest environmental problems.

Deadline reported that Silverback’s Earthshot: How To Save Our Planet (tentative title) will feature Prince William, scientists, environmentalists, and wildlife experts showing us exactly how planet earth can be brought back from the brink. Earthshot awards will be broadcasted by BBC.

Earthshot: How To Save Our Planet is executive produced by Alastair Fothergill and Keith Scholey, while the series producer is Jonnie Hughes. 

Moore told the Deadline, “The time to act is now, and the Earthshot Prize will reinvigorate the scientists and environmentalists who are working tirelessly to find solutions to what is a global environmental emergency. Our major five-part series that accompanies the inaugural awards ceremony will inform audiences of what’s being done around the world to help save our planet.”
