Royal engagement at climate event — The monarch and his heir made a joint appearance at the London museum

The Prince of Wales plans to participate in the United Nations climate conference in South America during November, according to palace sources.

The father and son duo appeared together on Thursday night at a reception preceding the environmental conference, which is scheduled to take place in the Amazonian city of Belém.

The royal pair were in attendance at the Natural History Museum reception, marking an noteworthy combined presence at a pre-COP30 gathering arranged together with the United Kingdom administration.

Environmental Advocacy Dedication

King Charles has been a consistent supporter of environmental conservation - and Prince William has inherited the mission, with his own climate innovation awards, which will be taking place in South America ahead of the COP summit.

Palace insiders have described William's involvement at the forthcoming conference as stepping up an important role in "environmental negotiations".

Previous Activities

The monarch and his heir, making a joint entrance in the official car, were introduced to attendees such as environmentalists, scientists, environmental activists, diplomats and politicians.

This participation featured addresses alongside President Emmanuel Macron of the French Republic and other global statesmen at the Blue Economy and Finance Forum in the Principality of Monaco during the current year.

Earthshot Awards Link

The COP30 summit will dovetail with the prince's own sustainability recognition program, which will wrap up in the Brazilian city the previous day he attends the climate conference on 6 November.

Recently the prince described the award contenders as "modern-day pioneers".

Monarch's Environmental Record

King Charles has been a influential participant at past COP meetings, delivering the inaugural speech in Dubai for COP28, including the reminder: "Our responsibility is to protect the world we inhabit".

"Throughout my life I've dedicated a significant amount of my life trying to warn of the survival risks confronting humanity over climate change, climate change and species extinction," the King told delegates.
