Prince William Will Participate in UN Climate Conference in South America
The Prince of Wales will represent the United Nations climate conference in South America in the coming weeks, as announced by the royal household.
Prince William and King Charles made a joint appearance on Thursday evening at a event preceding the climate summit, which is scheduled to take place in the northern Brazilian city of Belém.
Father and son were in attendance at the Natural History Museum reception, marking an noteworthy combined presence at a climate summit preparatory event arranged together with the UK government.
Climate Leadership Commitment
King Charles has been a consistent supporter of biodiversity preservation - and Prince William has inherited the mission, with his own environmental prize initiative, which will be hosted in Rio ahead of the COP summit.
Official representatives have characterized the Prince's participation at the upcoming climate summit as stepping up an important role in "climate diplomacy".
Recent Engagements
The monarch and his heir, arriving together in the official car, were welcomed attendees such as environmentalists, researchers, climate change campaigners, foreign representatives and politicians.
This involvement involved presentations together with President Emmanuel Macron of France and other global statesmen at the Ocean Finance Summit in Monaco during the current year.
Environmental Prize Link
The climate conference will dovetail with the the royal's sustainability recognition program, which will wrap up in the Brazilian city the day before he participates in the COP summit on November 6th.
Recently the prince referred to the award contenders as "heroes of our time".
Royal Climate Legacy
The King has been a influential participant at earlier environmental conferences, giving the opening address in Dubai for COP28, including the observation: "We are custodians of the planet, not its owners".
"I have spent a significant amount of my life trying to alert people to the existential threats challenging our world over global warming, environmental shifts and species extinction," the King told delegates.
