Official representatives have characterized Prince William's attendance at the upcoming climate summit as stepping up an significant responsibility in "environmental negotiations".
Previous Activities
The monarch and his heir, arriving together in the state Bentley, were greeted attendees such as environmentalists, scientists, environmental activists, foreign representatives and politicians.
This engagement involved presentations 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 align with the prince's own sustainability recognition program, which will finish in Rio de Janeiro the previous day he participates in the climate conference on November 6th.
Last week the prince referred to the Earthshot finalists as "heroes of our time".
Royal Climate Legacy
The King has been a key figure at past COP meetings, providing the introductory remarks in Dubai for COP28, including the statement: "We are custodians of the planet, not its owners".
"For decades I've committed a significant amount of my life trying to warn of the critical dangers confronting humanity over planetary heating, climate change and biodiversity loss," the King told participants.
