The King has been a consistent supporter of environmental conservation - and the Prince of Wales has assumed the responsibility, with his own Earthshot awards, which will be hosted in Rio preceding the UN meeting.

Official representatives have characterized the Prince's participation at the upcoming climate summit as assuming an crucial position in "environmental negotiations".

Previous Activities

The King and Prince of Wales, making a joint entrance in the official car, were introduced to attendees such as environmentalists, researchers, climate change campaigners, diplomats and politicians.

This engagement involved presentations alongside President Emmanuel Macron of the French Republic and other global statesmen at the Marine Economy Conference in Monaco during the current year.

Environmental Prize Link

The COP30 summit will align with the prince's own sustainability recognition program, which will wrap up in the Brazilian city the eve of he attends the COP summit on the sixth of November.

The King has been a influential participant at earlier environmental conferences, providing the introductory remarks in the United Arab Emirates for COP28, including the observation: "We are custodians of the planet, not its owners".

"Throughout my life I've dedicated a large proportion of my life trying to warn of the existential threats confronting humanity over global warming, global temperature increases and biodiversity loss," the sovereign addressed delegates.
