“Without swift and immediate action, at an unprecedented pace and scale, we will miss the window of opportunity to ‘reset’ for… a more sustainable and inclusive future,” he said per BBC.
“[The environmental] crisis has been with us for far too many years – decried, denigrated and denied,” Prince Charles continued. “It is now rapidly becoming a comprehensive catastrophe that will dwarf the impact of the coronavirus pandemic.”
