The climate crisis: A royal campaign

The climate crisis: A royal campaign

By Sky News

The British Royal Family has been at the forefront of the campaign to tackle climate change for over 50 years.

Most recently, Prince Charles announced his “Terra Carta” principles, calling on businesses to act now to tackle the climate crisis.

It follows the £50m Earthshot initiative launched by Prince William to encourage people to solve sustainability issues.

But what impact does the Royal Family actually have on the environmental crisis?

And do their pledges make a difference?

On this edition of the Sky News Daily podcast Dermot Murnaghan is joined by Ed Davey, the co-director of the World Resources Institute, who worked with the Prince of Wales on a number of climate initiatives, and Sky’s royal correspondent Rhiannon Mills.
