Prince William will represent the United Nations climate conference in South America in the coming weeks, according to the royal household.

The father and son duo appeared together on Thursday evening at a event ahead of the climate summit, which is scheduled to take place in the Amazonian city of Belem.

Father and son were present at the scientific institution event, marking an unusual joint appearance at a environmental conference preliminary meeting co-hosted by the United Kingdom administration.

Climate Leadership Dedication

King Charles has been a consistent supporter of biodiversity preservation - and the Prince of Wales has taken on the baton, with his own Earthshot awards, which will be held in Brazil before the COP summit.

Palace insiders have characterized Prince William's attendance at the next COP as assuming an important role in "global climate discussions".

Recent Engagements

The King and Prince of Wales, arriving together in the state Bentley, were greeted attendees such as environmentalists, researchers, environmental activists, foreign representatives and government officials.

This participation involved presentations alongside President Emmanuel Macron of the French Republic and other global statesmen at the Blue Economy and Finance Forum in the Principality of Monaco during the current year.

Environmental Prize Link

The climate conference will align with the William's personal Earthshot environmental awards, which will wrap up in Rio de Janeiro the day before he participates in the COP summit on the sixth of November.

Recently the William referred to the award contenders as "contemporary champions".

Royal Climate Legacy

The monarch has been a influential participant at earlier environmental conferences, giving the opening address in the United Arab Emirates for COP28, including the reminder: "We are custodians of the planet, not its owners".

"I have spent a large proportion of my life trying to raise awareness about the existential threats confronting humanity over global warming, global temperature increases and species extinction," the King told delegates.
