Winners' Quotes

Mukuru Clean Stoves Founder and CEO, Charlot Magayi said:

"It is a great honour to receive this recognition from the Earthshot Prize. In 2017, I set out to help women in Mukuru reduce household air pollution. 5 years later, 200,000 households in Kenya use our stoves and The Earthshot Prize is going to help us reach 1 million households, enabling 5 million people to benefit from cleaner air and putting us so much closer to achieving our goal of eradicating household air pollution.

"To the Mukuru Clean Stoves team, for your dedication to providing access to better cooking technology and helping clean our air, congratulations! Let us work together to Clean Our Air."

Kheyti Greenhouse-in-a-Box Co-Founder and CEO, Kaushik Kappagantulu said:

"The idea of Kheyti started from a simple dream – that the hard work of half a billion farmers across the world should pay off. The only reason our vision persevered is because others shared that dream – our team, our families and most importantly, our 1,000+ farmers who took a chance with us. Congratulations to all of THEM.

"This is just the beginning. We aim to help a million farmers within 10 years, and this prize will help us invest in a solid foundation for that ambition. Thank you for helping us ignite the smart farmer revolution!"

Queensland Indigenous Women Rangers Network Founder Larissa Hale said:

"This prize is a game changer. We are going to create a global groundswell of First Nations female-led conservation programs, a network of women coming together to help repair the planet fueled by ancient knowledge and new technology. Our planet needs us, and it isn't too late. The message of Earthshot is that with hope and action, we can feel hopeful for the future of our planet."

Earth Science: Climate Change in Five Charts

Notpla Co-Founder Pierre Paslier said:

"I want to start by thanking the amazing Notpla team who've been working so hard to make our innovation come to life and everyone else who's supported us along this journey. I'd also like to thank The Earthshot Prize for creating such a great platform and believing in our solution.

"When Rodrigo and I started Notpla 8 years ago in our student kitchen, we would have never imagined we would be here today. No one wants to live in a world full of plastic waste but it's not too late to act. There's never been a greater time to use natural solutions to solve the plastic challenge."

44.01 Founder, Carbon General and CEO Talal Hasan said:

"This is a proud moment for all of us here at 44.01 and I'd like to say a massive thank you to the whole team and to everyone who has supported us along the way. We started 44.01 two years ago because we saw the very real impact of climate change here in Oman.

"Winning The Earthshot Prize will help us scale our solution around the world, and ultimately eliminate billions of tonnes of CO2. Climate change is the greatest challenge we have ever faced but being part of this amazing group of finalists give us hope. Thank you to Earthshot for encouraging our knowledge and progress in this vital fight."
