"We start this new decade knowing that it is the most consequential period in history," says Prince William, The Duke of Cambridge. Inspired by President John F. Kennedy's "Moonshot," he calls on everyone to rise to our greatest challenge ever: the "Earthshot." A set of ambitious objectives for the planet, the Earthshot goals seek to protect and restore nature, clean the air, revive oceans, build a waste-free world and fix the climate -- all in the next decade. To do it, we'll need people in all corners of the globe working together with urgency, creativity and the belief that it is possible to repair the Earth.
This talk was part of the Countdown Global Launch on 10.10.2020. (Watch the full event: • [Replay] Watch the Cou... .) Countdown is TED's global initiative to accelerate solutions to the climate crisis. The goal: to build a better future by cutting greenhouse gas emissions in half by 2030, in the race to a zero-carbon world. Get involved at countdown.ted.com/sign-up

What a sincere person wanting to heal the planet..if anyone can inspire other to get on this important challenge it is He..Thank you Prince William, God bless you always.
My heavens! I can remember that very day this man was born! And now look at him. Tall. Handsome. Poised. Intelligent. And, most of all, WISE! Diana would be beyond herself with pride. Way to go William!!! Keep up the good work.
I so agree…remember when he was born to.:)
He makes me tear up…to hear what a intelligent,sincere and caring man he is.Yes,mum Diana would be so proud.❤❤❤❤
What an incredibly crafted speech! Inspirational. Thank you Prince William.
The Earth needs some one like Prince William behind it.
Thank you Prince William for inspiring us all to take action. I am looking forward to see how we can change. 🇿🇦
Prince William presents exceptionally well. He has come into his own. Inspiring talk. Well done.
He wrote it and we all believe in Santa Claus! Lol
Protect our planet! Thank you Prince William.
then jumps on a private jet back to one of his ‘homes’ - great advocate for sustainability 🤦🏻♂️
God bless you William 🙏🏽
Wonderful! I can't believe this could be put forward by a person who has been reared amidst pomp and luxury and deliver such a message of emergency to all concerns of the planet, our only sweet home afire. We must know and act with wartime urgency to save ourselves without sparing time anymore and I personally feel that we will make it again in no time. We have no boundaries to do it now.
It was worse in the industrial times. It’s just propaganda against Russia. Wakey wakey
He has also spent time in soup kitchens & with the homeless.
He is a man educated in compassion for others & a love for the environment & all life that depends upon it.
@@charzemc he's a WEF totalitarian stooge, and his woke campaign is part of the Great Reset to destroy the basic rights and freedoms of average people. Has he given up his multiple residences, private jet travel to his vacations (took at least one this past year and no apology). No. Charles at COP26 advocated for a "trillion dollar military style campaign" "under one man's control" "above all countries laws and regulations" to force compliance with his agenda. Totalitarian much? I don't want to hear about "wartime urgency". When Charles and William give up their wealth, private residences, private cars and live the "you'll own nothing and you'll be happy" then I will listen. Until then, they are hypocrites, frauds or something even worse.
Incredibly powerful William, thank you! Now let’s tell our politicians that 2050 is too late and make the changes required within a decade. I quit flying passenger jets for this cause, check out my BBC interview on my channel. Anything is possible, we are all capable of change 🙏🌸
Prince Williams take lead. Reduce your emissions for this decade. You can inspire other rich people to do it too.
L o l
The royal family have done all of that; I guess you missed it. Perhaps because of your obvious bias you are ignorant on the matter
@@Neilhuny they have stopped living in palaces?
@@lydiamalone1859 How is that relevant? Do you think everyone wealthier than the poorest must move to a hovel?
@@Neilhuny oh goody. another binary thinker.
The video is very inspiring, what Prince William said is totally right, we may have advanced as a society in technology and health, but the impact we have made is huge. It´s unfair that the most vulnerable people will be harmed by the reckless actions of some unconscious people. I can assure that if we propose it, we can fix this, it is not impossible, Prince William gave the best example: The Moonshot. We can change the world, it´s in our hands. In my opinion, every little action can make a difference, like recycling, save water or plant a tree. We have no excuse not to take care of our greatest gift, our planet.
Its time to arrange an Eco Award,to appreciate &to be aware of the Planet we live on. It is bigger than Grammys, Oscars, Emmys,Bafta & Nobel Prize..etc WELL DONE ! WILLS-KATE & THEIR TEAM !! Love the Dedication, Force, Power, Works, Energy that The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge Reflect and Inspire all to. They just walk the talk. The ground work,
Research and the Strategies with humility of Prince William& Catherine are phenomenal. And Thank God ! they are not about appalling
"look at me" 20000$ outfits
for every less than hour
gathering type..
Prince William is very John F. Kennedy-ish . . . they both created and inspired great achievements!
President john Kennedy of jaqueline Kennedy?
@@divinadiana3301 Jacqueline Bouvier married John F. Kennedy - Yes.
Prince William of Wales, I enjoyed hearing from you in this setting, where the strong Oaks are represented & have surrounded you in your life time! I appreciated the personal touch of speaking to us, (I'm from near, Boston, MA) and we are thrilled, You & Your lovely wife, Princess Catherine of Wales are due to visit, promoting the Earth shot!
Thank you, for your sincere efforts! We look forward to your visit, here in the US!
REPAIRING OUR PLANET, Wonderful thought. I wish to be a part of it with you Prince William. God bless you and your family.
He seems like he is genuinely passionate about this. Either way, I’m glad he’s using his platform for good.
I mean, he will be king when it really hits and he also is a dad..
Good to hear from Prince William!!
Hi, Will !! You deliver a great message. Many thanks. I'm with you.
Thank you prince William you are so wonderful to say this we all need to take care of this beautiful planet and all the wonderful trees and the beautiful water to and all of Animals God bless you and your family to .
Brilliant, the need of the hour. Keep it coming and spread the awareness🙏🏽
100 companies are responsible for 71% of global emissions. I can agree with that he is saying but don't come for me for driving my car everyday or not recycling one bottle when you let these companies continue.
"I'm going to keep driving my truck everyday, but i want BP and Exxon to stop producing the fossil fuels I use to fuel my truck every day". You cannot get angry at companies meeting the demand you put on them while doing nothing to reduce your consumption. So nect time you think about driving to Mcdonalds, why not climb on your bike instead.
We should be able to walk and chew gum at the same time.
This is the stupidest sound bite that every wanna be had memorized and regurgitates on every climate related topic on the internet. First of all, the list is not even a list of all companies based on the emissions they produce. You'll find that there are no shipping, manufacturing, mining, agricultural or transportation industries mentioned there. It is simply a list of all fossil fuel producers.
Secondly, what makes your stupid soundbite even dumber is that they are not all "companies" at all. 2/3rds of the listed 71% of emissions mentioned in that statistic are from state owned corporations, or straight up state agencies (in case you didnt know that is pretty much the norm for fossil fuel production outside the west. You'd notice that most prominent private corporations on that list are from the UK, USA and AUS). The original paper that the guardian article refers to (that you probably only read the headline of, and scrolled past) even has an entire section titled "state entities".
God Bless you Prince William and your family
@@jaysaley7336
Lol
Thanks, I have learned a lot from the video.
We have no choice but to succeed. Absolutely!! If we don't succeed, our next gen is gonna be in a messed up condition. Those who complain will keep complaining. Those who bring the change will keep succeeding. Prince has thrown an important message for this generation to save our mother earth. Positivity!
How we are going to succeed, if the rich don't want to give up their luxurious lifestyle, which has enormous carbon footprint???
Such a good speaker.
These comments epitomise exactly what he is saying. Rather than getting your own houses in order and affecting change, you point the finger at someone else and shift the responsibility
COULDNT HAVE SAID IT ANY BETTER exactlyyyy
The comments? What about the video?
preaach
The irony is the video is of the prince doing exactly what you say the comments are saying.
That’s ABSOLUTELY NOT what this is about! No preaching here, just facilitating and rewarding genius people with genius solutions!
He says, ‘I am simply the latest in a line that can be traced back generations.’ I ask aren’t we all?
Yeah but most of us don’t have the blood of millions on our hands
He is not suggesting otherwise. It is a reference to the age of a living thing, the oak tree, and how it has sustained life over centuries. Why do people want to twist and spin.
He’s implying that his bloodline is more important than yours.
@@durtisdanger that was not MY take away message. I don't really care how long his ancestry is at Windsor Castle, but the ancient oak tree as a metaphor of nature's importance worked for me.
Rebecca Brown so are you suggesting that we are to worship Gaia above all else?
Please before you criticise William take the time to genuinely watch and listen to this and to earthshot, give it a fair chance. He never once blames consumers, like he said in this video “those who’ve done the least to cause climate change will be impacted the most”. Earthshot is inspiring and motivating, no one who has watched could criticise
It's amazing how one big tree can do so much change for many lives around it without complaining. You are right about inspiring and motivaring. Thank you.
Muchas gracias prince William Dios te bendiga y te proteja siempre.
Very good, i'm as i always have been, on board with these kinds of messages. This vid, i think, is perfectly timed for us and hope many, many people see it and gets inspired too do what we can! we will succeed! and we will thrive!
Thanks for awaring us...
I see SO MUCH of his mother in him in this video. Keep it up Prince William, and do you Mum proud.
I went Vegan overnight a few years ago, now I fix broken tech, shop 2nd hand but I can still improve by going 0 waste, growing some of my own food, shopping local and in season, utilizing solar and show others by example because words in 2020 as we know mean nothing, it's all about our actions and refusal of inaction.
Very well said, thank you
Well said Prince William. Congratulations on your initiative - the Earthshot prize!
Yes, repair this planet, start by healing our relationships and interconnections between living
organisms and humans; to understand and accept the vital connections between plants and animals in this planet we share as a community.
Very well said 👍
He really sounds like his mum.
Just continue the legacy of Princess Diana in being a royal with a purpose.
I love love love you Prince William and very proud of you ...god bliss you and protect you& your family.
I'm glad that I am still alive to see you grown into an intelligent and caring handsome human being.
And I'll die happily knowing that the world will be in good hand.
God bliss Diana's soul for bringing up wonderful and caring children ...
I loved Diana and I love William & Charles very very much and I'm sure that with your encouragement & efforts it will happen and the next generations will thank us for it 😀🌻🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏😇🧚♂️🦋🧚♀️💖☀️💝🥰😍😀👍😀👍😀👍😀🌻🌹💐
WE HAVE OUR FUTURE KING.ALL'S GOOD
William's a born king with vision.
Hi, prince William!
You know the biggest destructions are done by/the results of big industrial practices and variety of mining practices/products. Big corporations need to be called out too, and held accountable.
True but all of us that purchase from big industry and benefit from these mining practices are also accountable. Industry develops where the money is, we get what we incentivize.
Yes, capitalism is the problem. Good luck getting anything done for the benefit of the planet, as long as capitalism rules.
@PC Random BHAHAhahahahahhaha 'social capitalism' I love it~! LOOOLZ If that isn't chasing a unicorn, I dont know what is~! Look, there is no, and will never be, any such thing as 'social capitalism', because the intrinsic flaws of capitalism will never permit it. How do you stop 'social capitalism' from becoming crony capitalism again? Regulation? ... leading to big government? ... more cronyism then?
Its funny how you say 'wrong' and then follow it up with your belief system. Please answer me this ...
If crony capitalism derived from capitalism, then why shouldn't capitalism be held responsible for crony capitalism?
Clearly you haven't thought about this to any great extent.
Aidin salt
Well said from a person who is either using a cell phone or a computer which is entirely made of mined products. SMH
My question, is whether or not slit eyed Willie there is the Antichrist, or Jared Kushner? Maybe the pope wants in on this one.
Thank you very much for the important information and advice you have given to all people around the world.
Lovely, I too am optimistic for the next ten years!
Helping the planet starts on an individual level. Always try to be conscious of what you’re consuming and try to reduce waste of resources as much as possible 🙏🏼 if we all do our part we can assure a future.
Yeah, I'll stop eating red meat just so that 3rd worlders can still have 10 kids per family and dump in rivers. Be realistic, overpopulation is the main cause of our planet dying.
@@felixlynch7327 i mean we could feed a lot more people if we didnt waste our crops to grow miserable animals but you do you
A western standard of living cant support this many people yes
@@felixlynch7327 and why do you think overpopulation is an issue exactly? Because of all the resources people use in an inefficient way.
@@felixlynch7327 you do realise we can potentially be more sustainable and educate the third world against overpopulation at the same time right? Nothing said that if you eat more sustainably that it means as a consequence that no one is going to address overpopulation, be realistic.
@@pri.sci.lla. And what do you think happens when the 3rd world reaches a western standard of living?? The 3rd world wont be poor forever and soon all these billions of people will start consuming more no matter what you do.
Your mom is proud of you, William. Positive vibes from New Hampshire and remember to be kind to each other and yourself during this pandemic and social crisis
She is not proud of depopulators , sorry. And it’s not a pandemic it’s a Plandemic.
Hello Tammy
@@princewilliams8786 hello, your highness, lol...you can't see it but I curtsey in your direction.
@@tammystockley-loughlin7680 thanks where do you live Tammy?
Good for you. I only wish there were many more like you that would take the time to send a positive message out. Thank you.
Yes that’s the difference- the message is positive, rewarding each innovative winner with £1m prize! No PREACHING! Love it!
Dr, Claudia Black, an esteemed family therapist coined the phrase "Don’t Talk, Don’t Trust, Don’t Feel." Along with our threatened environment out inner worlds need healing too. "Great oaks from little acorns grow." Hope lies with our world leaders, because it lies with all of us. Thank you, Prince William.
Thank you Prince William and the The Royal Family for your call on Global attention for natural and man made disasters to our beautiful earth and civilization !
He makes me feel we must protect the world's nature.
I think if we won't change, the Earth will be damaged.
I don't wanna see!!
We are to change!!
Это правда чесно скажите пожолуста
Greetings From Prince William
How are you doing today
Imagine if everyone on the planet plants and looks after just one tree..
China, Alibaba, Ant Forest
@@jaysaley7336 hardly worshipping a man who was born in the right family lol i don't care about him I care about the planet and what sir David Attenborough has to say..
So it's gullible to care about the planet? Even if there was no climate change.. You should care about the planet we wipe out millions of trees for our own selfishness we should be replacing them
Imagine if the 100 largest corporations stopped polluting the planet, we wouldn't even have to plant more trees!
Also, in order to uno-reverse the climate effect of the emissions, which are done, you would need to plant ALL the land area of the planet in trees.. in several layers of trees!
I wish it was that easy.
Although Prince William is telling facts, as a British person I am disappointed at the Royal Family’s greenhouse gases emissions. They use Private Jets almost everywhere and the royal residences such as Buckingham Palace and Windsor Castle are extremely poor for energy efficiency.
Amin this man should get a job¡
It doesn't matter who says an idea, only how good it is, and this is a good idea. We can't keep moving full speed ahead with blinders on, pretending everything will be ok
@@brajan_art I'm pretty sure this is his job - to do his part in helping the world and his people.
Hopefully once William is King he can make significant changes in that. He may not have much of a say right now.
@Martin Svensson What money are they asking for? Also, please cite your sources proving that this is a 'scam.' There is ample evidence showing that it's not.
Each and every word of his makes me feel responsible for the earth. I hope rich countries could give more support in the future for developing countries such as Myanmar which is full of logging and poaching N suffers the consequences of deforestation terribly.
The issue is humanity is locked into a never-ending dependence on fossil fuels. Until governments and corporations decide to release the technology that will free us from this cycle of dependence that only kills the planet and lines their pockets we can expect only more of the same.
Its a crime, that so much is being used and misused, to manipulate people into being completely cornered. To go back to pre-industrialation would take extreme worldwide devastation and compromise. The oligarchs wont let go of their death grip on money and power. Smooth words are being said in assumptive tones, to appeal to our humanity. But what is good for our world is NOT what they have in mind. They are hypocrites!! Their hypocrisy bleeds down into the least of us all in a dog eat dog world. You are right! There is no honest effective change, unless they are no longer in control. Society is far too indoctrinated to allow that. Their plan will only bring harm and undue suffering on the masses. And they know that well.
To use electric they are already digging into the ocean floor destroying so much. We need a lower population. Birth control works
Now this message is worthy of a king
Amazing man. Future King. A gift to mankind. His knowledge in this topic shows in his intense passion. Bravo Prince William! 👏👏👏 All the best on EarthShots coz we ALL need it to succeed! 👍👍👍
Merveilleux cette initiative de la part du prince William! 🤗
6:06 when you really are a student in India :o
Grazie Principe William.Che Dio l'aiuti e ci aiuti!!

Beautiful impressive n need of the hour. Thank you, bless you. All your dreams come true.
Thank you for this video.
Great speech!.
Awesome intent in all that matters let’s hope it helps to harness our humanity and save our planet thank you
Agreed with You 💯 procent. Well spoke 👏 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Obrigado pelas legendas em português 🙏
So very well said, this poignant message from Prince William.
@@jaysaley7336 Who will listen to the scriptwriter who wrote this? Nobody.
@@jaysaley7336Scriptwriters are there for a reason. They have talent. Royals are there for another reason. They have a platform. No one has to have it all.
Greetings From Prince William
How are you doing today
Other countries should have such a well developed welfare state.
Well said. It is a pity that so many who can actually make a great difference refuse to lead, because they want to make another million first.
Thanks for sharing
Everyone always thinks they live in the most consequential periods in history. That said it doesn't mean that it isn't. Every moment is as said above.
In the age of Great Acceleration, we need greater repairing! I stand for our planet !
inspire billionaire friends who poison water, earth, air and humanity, owl tells sparrow big-headed
👍👍👍
Nature is my first love but everyone around me is doing the opposite and am stuck in the middle, plastics everywhere, of course I plant as much as I can but at the same time also limited by funds and space,
God go before me and help on my journey to restore nature
If the monarchy is to remain, he needs to be king. Simple.
An inspirational speech!
So inspiring I fell asleep
I really appreciated listening to this. Time for all us to come together.
First the rich should give up their carbon-intensive luxury lifestyle, and only then they can teach others anything!
I will "come together" with them when they stop flying around in planes every month, using huge luxury cars etc.
@@KateeAngel How about us common folk lead together and the rich can catch up. I'm sick and tired of worrying about the other guy. I can control me and I'm going to do the right thing, the best I can. The world will change from the bottom up. It's happening.
YES MAN! I love your 10x Mentality!!
Thank you so much prince wiliam this world and planet need your leader ship you inspiring us all to take action to Sf earth god bless you
He recited that script with something like competence. Sure he'll make a great king of New Atlantis.
Down with them all, burn it all.
Yes, we need Gaia consciousness to awaken in each of us to save the planet. But we must also remain caring, compassionate and kind to help each other in all of our struggles in reaching the goals of saving the planet. People need to cooperate, let go of hate, grudges etc and forgive the past. Chris Hadfield is a brilliant example of how people should behave. We can only do achieve this through compassion and forgiveness. Saving the planet might not only mean another shot to the moon, but given a second chance by the love of the planet she'll give you a chance to reach for the stars and beyond.
Hi Jennifer
Time flies.. This day this month by this year passed... '(
William is very smart caring and articulate!!! He can do so much good! Kate is just as wonderful ..
Go Prince William:)
God bless you William! On it like a car Bonnet bro! :D
Hi Keith
Your book looks amazing very interesting
Hannah we are here we are still learning the lessons
Is it just me or is prince William more visible and out there more than his dad prince Charles ?
Vlad rarely addresses humans. Everyone knows that!
@@MedicatedOMO Vlad?
Charles has waited all his life to become King. When he finally does get the title he might have it for 10 to 20 years tops. William is the future king.
We have social media now.
William warns rising human population putting wildlife at risk - Daily Mail watch this on UA-cam . He wants to depopulate humans instead , and let’s his family kill animals . Queens husband Philip is known to love to kill rare and near extinct animals.
Prince William, as an American we could desperately use some of your nobility and leadership skill.
Right... and bring a few $90,000,000,000,000 from the royal coffers w you, right?
No matter what comes out of his mouth, he's still an Elitist.
He’s gunna make a good King. I hope to see it in my lifetime. No offense to King Chuck.
I didn't know he was chill like that
Tesla wanted to power the world with wireless energy buy do you think the ones at the top who want to put tax on carbon would let us go down that path even if it was to save man kind
You're too dumb to realize how inefficient this transportation if energy would be.
I don't even want to talk with you, just get your facts (if you have any) straight.
Tesla was murdered. Electricty should be free!
Absolutely great Prince William! Thank you.
Carbon tariffs for developed and developing countries. So, they cannot produce cheaper carbon-intensive merchandise. Also, keep finding effective ways to reward them for their efforts in lessening their carbon footprint, so they keep it up. The Earthshot a brilliant start!
WILLIAM U R SUCH A WONDERFUL SPEAKER & GENTLEMAN,DEAR DIANA WOULD BE SO PROUD&SO ARE WE. Thx Ted
William the conqueror is my 20th great grandfather 🎉🎉😊❤❤
Excellent and authentic and inspiring 👏👏

"I hope everyone that is reading this is having a really good day. And if you are not, just know that in every new minute that passes you have an opportunity to change that. "Gillian Anderson
Beautiful talk. A warm voice and a heart touch message. Clear words and a message as well. I do hope that we all take action and those who have the power, money, and leadership position will take a stand. I am sorry, I really am, that money, power, social position dictates how things are made. Do we really need so much richness if we are incapable of conservating our planet? I am just scared and terrified to imagine a future where my two little girls could actually not be able to listen to a bird song in a forest because there is no forest anymore, to jump in a river because there is no river anymore, to enjoy a sunset or sunrise because of the smog. What world do we want, are we so selfish and not think of future generations? I hope not, I hope that we all take action and show to us, not to future generations, that we can actually change.
Let's do it
Please correct me if I get some of this wrong. I am a New Zealander. Her Majesty, The Queen, in the last 30 years corrected a whole lot of anomalies- which actually led to the classic tragedy within her family. The laws will allow the royal family to marry a Catholic, to marry a commoner, and to marry a divorcee, if required. If th oldest child is a girl she will inherit the throne. The family may have to deal with legacy of dysfunction and repair- for this generation- and i am sure it shall, But there will be much better legacy- going forward- and a great example.
