COP28: The world is ‘dreadfully far off track’ on addressing climate change, says King Charles

“I have spent a large proportion of my life trying to warn of the existential threats facing us over global warming, climate change and biodiversity loss. But I was not alone. For instance, UAE President His Highness Sheikh Mohamed Bin Zayed Al Nahyan’s dear father, Sheikh Zayed, was advocating for clean energy at a time even before the United Arab Emirates, as such, came into being,” said King Charles.



However, all these decades later, and despite all the attention, there is 30 per cent more carbon dioxide in the atmosphere now than there was back then, and almost 40 per cent more methane, he stated.



“Some important progress has been made, but it worries me greatly that we remain so dreadfully far off track as the Global Stocktake report demonstrates so graphically,” King Charles added.
