Prince William will play a leading role during London Climate Action Week later this month, joining environmental leaders and global business figures at two major events in the capital.
The Prince of Wales will take part in the week-long festival, which runs from June 20 to 28 and is recognized as the largest urban weather event in Europe.
He will attend in his capacity as founder and chair of the Earthshot Prize and founder of the Royal Foundation’s United for Wildlife.
Their engagements will take place over two days and are expected to bring together some of the world’s most influential voices on climate action, conservation and sustainable innovation.
A key focus will be the fight against illegal wildlife trafficking and environmental crime, with major corporations expected to announce new commitments.
The meeting also marks an important milestone: ten years since the Buckingham Palace Declaration, an initiative Prince William helped facilitate in 2016 to strengthen efforts against the illegal wildlife trade.
It will feature former US Vice President Al Gore, while actors Emma Watson and Benedict Cumberbatch CBE will join the Prince for a discussion on stage. Lord Hague, co-chair of United for Wildlife, will also address attendees.
