The King issued a rallying cry to world leaders to save the planet from catastrophic climate change on Friday, stating: “The Earth does not belong to us, we belong to the Earth”.
Addressing the United Nations COP28 summit in Dubai, he warned heads of government, business chiefs and climate campaigners that the world remains “dreadfully far off track” in key net zero targets. As the planet warms with wildfires and floods already destroying communities, he emphasised: “In 2050 our grandchildren won’t be asking what we said, they will be living with the consequences of what we did or didn’t do.”
