Karan Johar Makes History as First Indian to Host Prince William’s Climate Awards in Mumbai

The awards will feature 15 finalists and five winners, with each winner receiving £1 million for environmental solutions, Prince William said.

  • On Friday, September 18, Filmmaker Karan Johar and HRH Prince William announced that Johar will host the 2026 Earthshot Prize Awards Night in Mumbai on November 17, marking the first time the ceremony is held in India.
  • Founded by Prince William in 2020, the Earthshot Prize aims to drive global progress on environmental challenges, inspired by President John F. Kennedy's 1961 Moonshot goal to land a human on the moon within a decade.

  • Johar said being the first Indian host is a "moment of immense pride," noting the Earthshot Prize combines philanthropy with "business incentives" to fight one common cause.
  • The Earthshot Prize Summit will take place across two days in Mumbai, bringing together global leaders, innovators, and businesses to build connections and support environmental solutions.
