The Queen, who passed away Thursday, urged for bold climate action in a video message at the United Nations Climate Change Conference in Glasgow (COP26).
The monarch was originally scheduled to attend the UN conference, but after medical checks, she was advised to rest. She therefore had to pre-record her address in the week ahead at Windsor Castle, urging world leaders to “achieve true statesmanship.” She reiterated the dire need to create a “safer, stabler future” for the planet and “for our children and our children’s children.”
