Shakira Calls Prince William's Passion Towards Environmental Issues & Climate Change Inspiring

Prince William had launched the Earthshot Prize in 2020 to recognise individuals and companies' contribution to environmentalism. One of the winners of the prize is singer Shakira, who won William’s Earthshot Prize council. She is one of the13 global ambassadors on the Earthshot Prize Council, and she says she is highly impressed by William’s passion towards environmental issues and climate change.?

"Seeing Prince William’s passion and how genuinely determined he is to provoke change is very, very inspiring. It’s just incredible to see how committed he is, and all the people at Earthshot are, to make change happen in the world in such a short amount of time. And it’s not impossible. It requires many of us, plenty of commitment and determination, and we need to raise awareness towards that," she said.

The singer also revealed that her kids are the reason why she joined Climate Change Conference.

"Seeing them so worried, so concerned about the planet and how they can make this a better place has been so inspiring to me as a mother. As a parent, I want to make sure that they will live in a world that will be better than the one I grew up in," she said.

Shakira has two children -- eight-year-old Milan and six-year-old Sasha -- who she shares with her long-time partner Barcelona soccer player Gerard Pique.??
