The Prince of Wales Plans to Join COP30 Climate Summit in Brazil
Prince William is scheduled to attend the COP30 climate summit in South America during November, as confirmed by the royal household.
The father and son duo appeared together on Thursday night at a reception preceding the climate summit, which is set to be held in the northern Brazilian city of Belem.
The King and Prince were participating in the museum gathering, marking an unusual joint appearance at a environmental conference preliminary meeting arranged together with the UK government.
Environmental Advocacy Commitment
The King has been a long-time champion of environmental conservation - and the Prince of Wales has taken on the baton, with his own environmental prize initiative, which will be hosted in Rio before the UN meeting.
Official representatives have described Prince William's attendance at the next COP as assuming an crucial position in "global climate discussions".
Previous Activities
The monarch and his heir, arriving together in the official car, were greeted attendees such as conservation experts, scientists, environmental activists, diplomats and government officials.
This involvement involved presentations alongside President Emmanuel Macron of France and other world leaders at the Ocean Finance Summit in the Principality of Monaco in recent months.
Environmental Prize Link
The UN meeting will align with the the royal's Earthshot environmental awards, which will wrap up in the Brazilian city the previous day he participates in the climate conference on the sixth of November.
Last week the William described the Earthshot finalists as "heroes of our time".
Royal Climate Legacy
King Charles has been a key figure at earlier environmental conferences, providing the introductory remarks in the United Arab Emirates for the 28th Conference of Parties, including the statement: "Our responsibility is to protect the world we inhabit".
"For decades I've committed a large proportion of my life trying to warn of the critical dangers facing us over climate change, climate change and species extinction," the King told delegates.
