The Earth05 Prize pioneers open innovation and co-creation in the Age of AI, dedicated to accelerating progress towards Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) with a focus on addressing water conservation, water offsetting, and microplastic pollution. With only 1.2% of Earth's freshwater accessible out of 2.5 to 3% available, our quest centers on co-creating solutions to safeguard ecosystems and unlock inaccessible water resources. Through cross-disciplinary collaboration and innovation by leveraging AI with purpose and cutting-edge technologies, we harness global intelligence. Our unique approach enables finalists to test innovations in a digital twin within the metaverse before real-world implementation, allowing for the refinement and validation of solutions in a controlled environment that mirrors real-world complexities.
