Former New Zealand prime minister Jacinda Ardern has joined the board of trustees for the Prince of Wales’ environmental award. Ms Ardern, 42, resigned in January after six years in charge, saying she did not have “enough in the tank” to continue.
William created The Earthshot Prize in 2021 to support projects aimed at protecting the planet. Scheduled to run annually until 2030, winners receive a £1m grant for their environmental work.
William said: “It is an honour to welcome Jacinda to The Earthshot Prize team. Her lifelong commitment to supporting sustainable and environmental solutions, along with her experience as Prime Minister of New Zealand, will bring a rich infusion of new thinking to our mission.”
