Coral Pasisi, Vice Chair of Niue Ocean Wide Trust and co-architect of Ocean Conservation Commitments, said<\/p>\n
Niueans do not see the ocean as separate from us; it is part of our identity, our knowledge and our responsibility to future generations.<\/p>\n
“We did not want protection to remain a promise dependent on the next grant. We wanted finance that matched the length of that responsibility.<\/p>\n
Earthshot recognition can help us complete the Trust, deepen the work already under way and share what we are learning with other island nations on their own terms,” she said.<\/p>\n
The Earthshot Prize was launched six years ago by Prince William and is seen as the world’s most prestigious environmental prize.<\/p>\n
The BBC reports Earthshot remains one of the key priorities of Prince William’s public work.<\/p>\n
“Around the world, people are proving every day that we can restore nature and tackle climate challenges. Our 2026 finalists are an incredible example of that,” he said.<\/p>\n
The five winners will be announced in November in Mumbai, and will each receive more than NZ$2-point-3 dollars.<\/p>\n
The finalists were selected from nearly 7,000 nominations submitted across 169 countries<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Coral Pasisi, Vice Chair of Niue Ocean Wide Trust and co-architect of Ocean Conservation Commitments, said Niueans do…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":604899,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[156,111,139,69],"class_list":["post-604898","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-entertainment","tag-entertainment","tag-new-zealand","tag-newzealand","tag-nz"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/604898","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=604898"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/604898\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/604899"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=604898"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=604898"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=604898"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
