Prince Charles urges action against climate change ‘before it is too late’

London, Prince Charles, who has long been an outspoken campaigner on climate change, has made clear his frustration that more has not been done to tackle global warming, despite clear warnings from UN scientists of the potentially catastrophic risks it poses.
In a pre-recorded video address to political and business leaders in New York, as they meet for major international climate change talks, he describes climate change as the greatest challenge facing humanity.
Speaking as Patron of the Prince of Wales’s Corporate Leaders Group, the Prince shakes his head as he says: “We are running out of time – how many times have I found myself saying this over recent years?”
He says the world cannot “delay, regroup, prevaricate or wait for more and better information” and warns that tackling global warming will require “an unprecedented transformation of our communities, societies and lifestyles”.
He calls for renewable energy – such as wind farms and solar panels – to be “vastly scaled up”.
