The Prince of Wales plans to participate in the United Nations climate conference in Brazil during November, according to palace sources.
The father and son duo made a joint appearance on Thursday evening at a gathering leading up to the environmental conference, which is set to be held in the northern Brazilian city of Belém.
Father and son were in attendance at the Natural History Museum reception, marking an noteworthy combined presence at a climate summit preparatory event arranged together with the United Kingdom administration.
Climate Leadership Dedication
King Charles has been a consistent supporter of environmental conservation - and Prince William has inherited the mission, with his own Earthshot awards, which will be hosted in Rio preceding the climate conference.
Official representatives have portrayed the Prince's participation at the upcoming climate summit as assuming an important role in "global climate discussions".
Recent Engagements
The King and Prince of Wales, arriving together in the state Bentley, were welcomed guests including environmentalists, scientists, environmental activists, foreign representatives and politicians.
This engagement involved presentations alongside President Emmanuel Macron of the French Republic and other world leaders at the Marine Economy Conference in Monaco earlier this year.
Environmental Prize Connection
The UN meeting will coincide with the prince's own Earthshot environmental awards, which will finish in the Brazilian city the day before he attends the COP summit on the sixth of November.
In recent days the William characterized the prize competitors as "contemporary champions".
Monarch's Environmental Record
King Charles has been a influential participant at past COP meetings, giving the opening address in the United Arab Emirates for COP28, including the reminder: "Our responsibility is to protect the world we inhabit".
"I have spent a large proportion of my life trying to alert people to the survival risks challenging our world over planetary heating, environmental shifts and biodiversity loss," the King told attendees.
