The King has co-written a Ladybird book to give children information about climate change. The monarch said the book was written to give children the "basic facts and figures" about the environmental threat.
The book is co-written with Natural England chair Tony Juniper and climate scientist Dr Emily Shuckburgh. King Charles met Mr Juniper when he hosted a reception for environment ministers from around the world.
King Charles is the lead author of the Ladybird Book of Climate Change. He has written an afterword for the book, which will be published next month.

Commenting on the King's message, Mr Juniper said: “It’s about the importance of the subject matter, it’s about the importance of young people being empowered. It’s about the great sweep of history and facts and how we’ve come to see the world through a certain set of assumptions and how we need to change those.”
The book aims to make the subject of climate change accessible for seven to 11-year-olds and will try to "bring the facts to the fingertips of the people who’ve got most to gain by finding solutions in time, namely the young people”.
