King Charles has warned of 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 music video 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, here at RE:TV we remember our founder’s long-standing commitment to defending the planet.”
The brief message released with the video further read: “While 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 relevant today.
In 2023, we revisited some of the most compelling lines from those speeches with help from a cast including Idris Elba, Woody Harrelson, Glenn Close and Olivia Colman.
The King’s vision of a sustainable future inspires everything we do at RE:TV. We hope that when we look back at COP30, we will not notice how little has changed, but rather how far we have come. »
