During the ceremony, the Egyptian star warned of water pollution and commented: “By the end of this century, it is possible that the amount of plastic in the water is greater than that of the fish.”

The award, known as the Earthshot Prize, gives funding to nominees developing solutions in five areas: nature conservation, waste management, ocean revival, air quality and climate change.
