Royal sources have portrayed the Prince's participation at the next COP as taking on an crucial position in "environmental negotiations".
Previous Activities

This engagement involved presentations alongside President Emmanuel Macron of the French Republic and other international figures at the Blue Economy and Finance Forum in Monaco during the current year.
Environmental Prize Link
The climate conference will coincide with the prince's own Earthshot environmental awards, which will wrap up in Rio de Janeiro the day before he participates in the COP summit on November 6th.
In recent days the royal figure described the prize competitors as "modern-day pioneers".
Monarch's Environmental Record
The monarch has been a influential participant at earlier environmental conferences, delivering the inaugural speech in the United Arab Emirates for the 28th Conference of Parties, including the observation: "Our responsibility is to protect the world we inhabit".
"For decades I've committed a substantial portion of my life trying to warn of the survival risks facing us over climate change, environmental shifts and species extinction," the sovereign addressed participants.
