SINGAPORE (AP) — Prince William arrived Sunday in Singapore for the Earthshot Prize awards, the first to be held in Asia, to support environmental innovators with solutions to battle climate change and save the planet.
William, 41, shook hands, signed autographs and sportingly took selfies with many of them during a walkabout.
“It’s fantastic to be back in Singapore for this year’s Earthshot Prize ceremony, after eleven years," he said in a statement upon landing.
That inspired the prince and his partners to set a similar goal for finding solutions to pressing environmental problems by 2030.
William, a keen sportsman, will also try his hand at dragon boating, a popular sport in Singapore and many parts of the world.
