The King has been a consistent supporter of protecting nature - and Prince William has assumed the responsibility, with his own environmental prize initiative, which will be held in Brazil before the COP summit.
Royal sources have characterized Prince William's attendance at the upcoming climate summit as assuming an crucial position in "global climate discussions".
Recent Engagements
The King and Prince of Wales, making a joint entrance in the official car, were greeted attendees such as environmentalists, scientists, environmental activists, foreign representatives and government officials.
This involvement included speaking together with President Emmanuel Macron of the French Republic and other international figures at the Blue Economy and Finance Forum in the Principality of Monaco during the current year.
Environmental Prize Link
The climate conference will dovetail with the prince's own sustainability recognition program, which will finish in Rio de Janeiro the day before he participates in the COP summit on November 6th.
In recent days the prince described the award contenders as "heroes of our time".
Monarch's Environmental Record
The monarch has been a influential participant at past COP meetings, delivering the inaugural speech in Dubai for COP28, including the reminder: "The Earth does not belong to us, we belong to the Earth".
"For decades I've committed a large proportion of my life trying to warn of the critical dangers confronting humanity over global warming, global temperature increases and biodiversity loss," the monarch informed participants.
