“With 2024 on track to be the hottest year on record, we urgently need to protect fungi so they can help us preserve a liveable planet.”

We think the climate conversation needs to dive underground and recognize the critical role mycorrhizal fungi play in controlling CO2.????????? Mycorrhizal fungi draw down roughly 13 billion tons of CO2 into the soil. But threats from agriculture and urbanization to the climate crisis threaten fungi’s survival and ability to regulate global carbon levels. ??

I’m excited to be in Cape Town this week for The Earthshot Prize. I’m particularly energized to see two of our partners join forces in supporting the next generation of leaders addressing climate change! #slingshotprize #EarthshotCapetown
As Earthshot Week kicks off in Cape Town today, we have announced a series of programmes designed to inspire and engage the next generation of climate innovators: the Global Climate Accelerator Network launched in partnership with Undaunted: Tackling climate change with innovation, the Climate Youth Leadership Programme, and Project Slingshot, which will launch in partnership with National Geographic. These new programmes will, for the first time, ensure that The Earthshot Prize reaches children and young people from the age of five well into adulthood and inspire the next generation to join the movement fixing the planet, one breakthrough solution at a time.
