The Prince of Wales Will Participate in UN Climate Conference in Brazil
Prince William is scheduled to attend the COP30 climate summit in South America next month, as confirmed by the royal household.
Prince William and King Charles appeared together on Thursday evening at a reception preceding the climate summit, which is planned for in the Amazonian city of Belem.
The royal pair were participating in the Natural History Museum reception, marking an unusual joint appearance at a climate summit preparatory event co-hosted by the UK government.
Climate Leadership Dedication
The King has been a consistent supporter of biodiversity preservation - and the Prince of Wales has inherited the mission, with his own climate innovation awards, which will be held in Brazil ahead of the UN meeting.
Official representatives have portrayed the Prince's participation at the forthcoming conference as stepping up an significant responsibility in "climate diplomacy".
Previous Activities
The King and Prince of Wales, arriving together in the official car, were welcomed guests including environmentalists, scientists, environmental activists, diplomats and politicians.
This engagement involved presentations in concert with French leader Macron of the French Republic and other international figures at the Marine Economy Conference in Monaco earlier this year.
Environmental Prize Connection
The COP30 summit will dovetail with the prince's own Earthshot environmental awards, which will finish in the Brazilian city the day before he attends the COP summit on the sixth of November.
Recently the prince characterized the prize competitors as "modern-day pioneers".
Monarch's Environmental Record
The King has been a influential participant at previous climate summits, providing the introductory remarks in the United Arab Emirates for the 28th Conference of Parties, including the statement: "We are custodians of the planet, not its owners".
"I have spent a substantial portion of my life trying to alert people to the existential threats confronting humanity over global warming, global temperature increases and ecological decline," the sovereign addressed participants.
