We are excited to announce that EARTHSHOT: HOW TO SAVE OUR PLANET, the definitive book of The Earthshot Prize, has now been published.
Created by John Murray, and co-authored by Colin Butfield and Jonnie Hughes, creative heads behind the phenomenally successful documentary David Attenborough: A Life on Our Planet, the EARTHSHOT book highlights the urgency of the environmental challenges facing our world while also showcasing inspirational case studies of the incredible solutions happening globally to repair our planet.
As the definitive book of The Earthshot Prize, it includes an introduction from Prince William, and contributions from leading global figures and Members of The Earthshot Prize Council. Sir David Attenborough writes on protecting and restoring nature; former International Space Station astronaut Naoko Yamazaki on cleaning our air; Shakira Mebarak on reviving our oceans; Christiana Figueres, co-founder of Global Optimism and former UN Climate Chief on fixing our climate; and environmental activist Hindou Oumarou Ibrahim on building a waste-free world.
The book is written in three parts:

- Part 2 provides readers with inspirational case studies showing the incredible solutions already happening to repair our planet, and
- Part 3 offers critical advice about ways we can all make a difference.
