00:00I sat under this oak tree five years ago, soon after we launched the Earthshot Prize.
00:27The planet, the only home we have, needed our help.
00:31The scientists made it clear that we had to make significant changes by 2030.
00:37Back then, a decade felt a long time. George was seven, Charlotte five and Louis two.
00:43The thought of them in 2030 felt a lifetime away.
00:47But today, as we stand halfway through this critical decade, 2030 feels very real.
00:52The Earthshot Prize was founded because this decade matters.
00:572030 is a threshold by which future generations will judge us.
01:02It is the point at which our actions, or lack of them,
01:06will have shaped forever the trajectory of our planet.
01:08It is impossible to hear these finalist stories, to see the impact they are already having,
01:19and not feel encouraged by their energy and momentum.
01:22For me, it is that urgent optimism that has been at the heart of this prize from the beginning.
01:28And it feels unstoppable.
01:29The people behind these projects are heroes of our time.
01:33So let us back them.
01:35Because if we do, we can make the world cleaner, safer, and full of opportunity.
01:40Not only for future generations, but for the lives we want to lead now.
01:54But we've been a miracle, but for the —
01:58That is why we call the —
01:59The moon from the East.
02:01And we often tragen together the laurel in the world,
02:05and we've chosen two stars for the Nine toку zurück,
02:06And here is kita to fight for people who weren't
02:07in ourçu understanding of the world.
02:11And today is anime.
02:13We've joined the bazen and team.
02:16We've divided us over,
02:18oberten ISAsen cream,
02:21and we've gone through this period ."
