The Prince of Wales plans to participate in the COP30 climate summit in South America next month, as announced by royal officials.

The father and son duo appeared together on Thursday night at a gathering preceding the environmental conference, which is set to be held in the northern Brazilian city of Belém.

The royal pair were in attendance at the scientific institution event, marking an rare public appearance together at a pre-COP30 gathering arranged together with the United Kingdom administration.

Climate Leadership Dedication

The King has been a long-time champion of environmental conservation - and the Prince of Wales has inherited the mission, with his own Earthshot awards, which will be hosted in Rio before the COP summit.

Official representatives have characterized Prince William's attendance 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 state Bentley, were greeted attendees such as conservation experts, researchers, climate change campaigners, diplomats and government officials.

This involvement involved presentations alongside President Emmanuel Macron of France and other international figures at the Blue Economy and Finance Forum in the Principality of Monaco in recent months.

Earthshot Awards Link

The UN meeting will coincide with the William's personal climate innovation prizes, which will finish in the Brazilian city the previous day he participates in the climate conference on 6 November.

Recently the prince described the award contenders as "heroes of our time".

Royal Climate Legacy

The monarch has been a influential participant at earlier environmental conferences, delivering the inaugural speech in the United Arab Emirates for the 28th Conference of Parties, including the observation: "We are custodians of the planet, not its owners".

"For decades I've committed a significant amount of my life trying to raise awareness about the critical dangers facing us over global warming, global temperature increases and species extinction," the King told attendees.
