King Charles has been a consistent supporter of protecting nature - and Prince William has taken on the baton, with his own Earthshot awards, which will be taking place in South America ahead of the COP summit.
Official representatives have portrayed William's involvement at the next COP as taking on an crucial position in "environmental negotiations".
Recent Engagements
The monarch and his heir, making a joint entrance in the state Bentley, were greeted participants featuring environmentalists, scientists, environmental activists, diplomats and government officials.
This involvement featured addresses alongside French leader Macron of France and other world leaders at the Blue Economy and Finance Forum in the Principality of Monaco in recent months.
Environmental Prize Link
The COP30 summit will align with the prince's own Earthshot environmental awards, which will conclude in the Brazilian city the previous day he attends the COP summit on November 6th.
In recent days the royal figure described the prize competitors as "modern-day pioneers".
Royal Climate Legacy
King Charles has been a influential participant at past COP meetings, delivering the inaugural speech in the United Arab Emirates for the 28th Conference of Parties, including the reminder: "The Earth does not belong to us, we belong to the Earth".
"Throughout my life I've dedicated a large proportion of my life trying to alert people to the critical dangers confronting humanity over planetary heating, environmental shifts and ecological decline," the monarch informed participants.
