Brazilian and international stars gathered in Rio alongside Prince William for the Earthshot Prize ceremony at the Museum of Tomorrow (Museu do Amanhã).
The evening opened in a festive tone, with samba and performances from Anitta, Gilberto Gil, Shawn Mendes, Kylie Minogue and Seu Jorge, before shifting towards the core message: spotlighting practical solutions for a planet under pressure.
The warmest applause went to re.green, a Brazilian start-up using artificial intelligence to restore threatened forests, and to Friendship, a Bangladeshi organisation supporting communities facing climate disasters.
Established in 2020, the prize honours five projects each year that can accelerate environmental transition by 2030.
