Prince William has stated that humanity needs to ‘fundamentally reset our relationship with nature and our trajectory as a species in order to avoid a climate disaster. In a video message, Prince William said the next decade would be ‘one of our greatest ever tests’.
He also warned that the most vulnerable people around the world ‘and those who have done the least to cause climate change’ would be impacted the most. William also said: ‘All of us, across all sectors of society, and in every corner of the globe, must come together to fundamentally reset our relationship with nature and our trajectory as a species. I truly believe that humans have an extraordinary capacity to set goals and strive to achieve them. The remarkable development of the Covid-19 vaccine in record time is a case in point’.
In October 2020 the duke launched the Earthshot Prize in order to help those coming up with solutions to climate change. The prize has five goals, they are to protect and restore nature; fighting air pollution; revive the oceans; building a waste-free world and fix the climate. On this Prince William has said ‘it will require our collective energy, determination, and optimism to get there. Together we must unite every business, every community, every government and every person around our common goal to repair the earth’.
