Prince William is expected to play a leading role during Climate Action Week in London later this month, joining world environmental leaders and 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 Europe’s largest city-wide weather event.
He will attend in his capacity as founder and chairman of the Earthshot Prize and founder of the Royal Foundation’s United for Wildlife.
Its 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.
One of the priorities will be the fight against illegal wildlife trafficking and environmental crime, with big companies expected to announce new commitments.
The gathering also marks an important milestone, ten years after the Buckingham Palace Declaration, an initiative that 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 are expected to join the prince for an on-stage discussion. Lord Hague, Co-Chair of United for Wildlife, will also address participants.
