Powerful, impactful, and optimistic were just some of the phrases used to describe the Prince of Wales’s speech last night. Addressing a room packed full of environmental innovators, William underscored his growing role as a global statesman by urging businesses, politicians and civil society to come together and tackle the climate crisis head on.
“The issues that continue to face our world are a threat to all of us, but when we unite, our momentum is unstoppable,” he said. William is using language to focus on the good that can be done, using the winners of his Earthshot Prize to highlight that progress is possible – it’s not all doom and gloom.
