Prince Charles weighs in on Prince George learning about climate change

In a clip launching the film COP26: In Your Hands, Prince Charles shared how his grandson, Prince George, is currently learning about the impact of climate change.

The Prince of Wales said, “I am old enough to have a grandson. Like you, he is learning how climate change is causing the big storms, and floods, droughts, fires and food shortages we have seen around the world. When I was his age, people had no idea about the damage we were doing.”

He added, "But by the time I was a teenager, I started to see that if we didn't stop polluting our planet, we would face a very dangerous future indeed.”

Charles added further, "This is why I've spent so much of my life trying to warn that we have to operate in ways which can make nature thrive, not suffer.”

"We have forgotten that we have to put back into nature as much as we take out - and you have an important part to play in this,” he concluded.
