Prince William plans to participate in the United Nations climate conference in South America in the coming weeks, according to the royal household.

The father and son duo appeared together on Thursday evening at a gathering leading up to the environmental conference, which is scheduled to take place in the Amazonian city of Belém.

The King and Prince were in attendance at the Natural History Museum reception, marking an noteworthy combined presence at a pre-COP30 gathering arranged together with the UK government.

Climate Leadership Commitment

The King has been a longstanding advocate of biodiversity preservation - and the Prince of Wales has inherited the mission, with his own environmental prize initiative, which will be taking place in South America ahead of the UN meeting.

Official representatives have described William's involvement at the upcoming climate summit as taking on an crucial position in "global climate discussions".

Recent Engagements

The monarch and his heir, arriving together in the royal vehicle, were welcomed participants featuring conservation experts, scientists, climate change campaigners, foreign representatives and politicians.

This participation featured addresses together with President Emmanuel Macron of France and other global statesmen at the Ocean Finance Summit in the Principality of Monaco during the current year.

Environmental Prize Link

The climate conference will dovetail with the William's personal sustainability recognition program, which will wrap up in the Brazilian city the day before he participates in the COP summit on November 6th.

In recent days the royal figure described the award contenders as "contemporary champions".

Royal Climate Legacy

King Charles has been a prominent presence at earlier environmental conferences, giving the opening address in the United Arab Emirates for COP28, including the reminder: "Our responsibility is to protect the world we inhabit".

"For decades I've committed a significant amount of my life trying to warn of the survival risks confronting humanity over climate change, climate change and biodiversity loss," the sovereign addressed attendees.
