King Charles III has addressed world leaders at COP28 in Dubai and said the “hope of the world” rests on the summit’s shoulders.
The King said he was present at COP21, when the landmark Paris Agreement was signed which set out the goal to keep average global temperature rises below 1.5C.
As delegates began arriving for the summit on Thursday, the World Meteorological Organisation said we are already on track for 1.4C of warming in 2023.
The King went on to say that he hopes the talks, which are taking place over the next two weeks, are a turning point for “genuine transformational action”.
