Prince William Set to Attend UN Climate Conference in Brazil
Prince William plans to participate in the COP30 climate summit in Brazil in the coming weeks, as confirmed by royal officials.
The father and son duo made a joint appearance on Thursday night at a event preceding the climate summit, which is set to be held in the northern Brazilian city of Belém.
Father and son were participating in the Natural History Museum reception, marking an noteworthy combined presence at a pre-COP30 gathering organized in partnership with the UK government.
Climate Leadership Dedication
King Charles has been a consistent supporter of biodiversity preservation - and Prince William has taken on the baton, with his own Earthshot awards, which will be held in Brazil ahead of the climate conference.
Royal sources have characterized Prince William's attendance at the forthcoming conference as assuming an important role in "global climate discussions".
Previous Activities
The King and Prince of Wales, arriving together in the state Bentley, were introduced to attendees such as environmentalists, researchers, climate change campaigners, diplomats and government officials.
This participation included speaking together with President Emmanuel Macron of France and other global statesmen at the Marine Economy Conference in the Principality of Monaco in recent months.
Environmental Prize Link
The UN meeting will dovetail with the William's personal climate innovation prizes, which will wrap up in the Brazilian city the day before he joins the COP summit on November 6th.
In recent days the royal figure characterized the Earthshot finalists as "contemporary champions".
Royal Climate Legacy
King Charles has been a key figure at earlier environmental conferences, giving the opening address in Dubai for the 28th Conference of Parties, including the observation: "We are custodians of the planet, not its owners".
"Throughout my life I've dedicated a significant amount of my life trying to raise awareness about the existential threats facing us over climate change, global temperature increases and species extinction," the King told attendees.
