King Charles has warned people about the dangers of climate change and stressed the need to protect the planet for future generations in multiple speeches in recent years as a senior member of the British royal family.
As COP30 opened in Brazil on Monday, RE:TV, a platform founded by King Charles, shared a video containing “the most compelling lines” from his speeches on the impacts of climate change.
The clip also featured Idris Elba, Woody Harrelson, Glenn Close and Olivia Colman.
The video was shared with a caption that read: “As COP30 begins in Brazil, we here at RE:TV remember our founder’s long-standing commitment to defending the planet.”
The short message posted with the video further said: “When he was Prince of Wales, our founder, His Majesty King Charles III, gave dozens of speeches highlighting the importance (and urgency) of protecting the natural world.
They span 50 years, but their messages are still valid today.
In 2023, we revisit some of the most compelling lines from these speeches with the help of a cast that includes Idris Elba, Woody Harrelson, Glenn Close and Olivia Colman.
The King’s vision for a sustainable future inspires everything we do at RE:TV. “We are hopeful that when we look back on COP30, we will notice not how little has changed, but how far we have come.”
