When a member of the British Royal Family has something to say about climate change, you better believe that everyone in the room is going to sit down and listen. The UK’s President for the COP 26 Summit in Scotland said that the royal family definitely helps in the efforts to get the world to take the climate crisis more seriously. Here’s what you need to know.
Alok Sharma, the President of the UK’s COP26 said that “When the royal family speaks on climate change, people listen. So, I’m really pleased that the Royal family is with us in this fight in tackling climate change.”
The British Royal Family Are The New Leaders Of The Climate Change Movement
Sharma described Prince Charles as “someone who has championed green issues over the course of a lifetime.” “He is someone who is absolutely committed and focused on sustainable growth,” added the MP.
He said that “all voices are really important in terms of getting people to raise their game” in the climate fight but “there’s no doubt” that when the Royals speak, they yield great influence.
“Of course, when he [Charles], Prince William and others speak, yes, people do notice,” he added.
Meanwhile, Prince Charles told world leaders to step up their efforts in reducing global warming as they have an “overwhelming responsibility to generations yet unborn.”
Speaking at a G20 summit in Rome on Sunday on the eve of the United Nations climate change meeting, the prince called on nations to agree to invest in greener economies when they meet in Glasgow next week.
“Ladies and gentlemen, COP26 begins in Glasgow tomorrow. Quite literally, it is the last chance saloon,” the Prince of Wales told G20 leaders. We must now translate fine words into still finer actions. And as the enormity of the climate challenge dominates peoples’ conversations, from news rooms to living rooms, and as the future of humanity and Nature herself are at stake, it is surely time to set aside our differences and grasp this unique opportunity to launch a substantial green recovery by putting the global economy on a confident, sustainable trajectory and, thus, save our planet.”
