King Charles has warned people about the dangers of climate change and stressed the need to protect the planet for future generations in several speeches over the past few years as a senior member of the British royal family.
As COP30 opened in Brazil on Monday, RE:TV, a platform founded by King Charles, shared a video containing “the most compelling lines” from his speech on the effects of climate change.
The clip also featured Idris Elba, Woody Harrelson, Glenn Close and Olivia Colman.
The video was shared with a caption that read: “As COP30 begins in Brazil, we here at RE:TV are reminded of our founder’s long-standing commitment to speak up for the planet.”
The short message released with the video further said: “When he was Prince of Wales, our founder His Majesty King Charles III made dozens of speeches highlighting the importance – and urgency – of protecting the natural world.
They span over 50 years, but their messages still resonate today.
In 2023, we reenacted some of the most compelling lines from those speeches using a cast including Idris Elba, Woody Harrelson, Glenn Close and Olivia Colman.
The king’s vision of a sustainable future inspires everything we do at RE:TV. It is our hope that when we look back at COP30, we will comment not on how little has changed, but on how far we have come.”
