The British King Charles III (75) reminded the world climate summit in Dubai that "the earth does not belong to us". This was reported by the Daily Mail, among others. The monarch also stated that the world had gone "terribly far astray" in tackling climate change.
The global economy is in danger if the environment does not improve quickly, King Charles said in his opening speech at the UN Climate Change Conference COP28. He told the world's heads of state and government that the dangers of climate change were no longer a distant risk and called on them to take more action.

King Charles, who has campaigned for environmental protection for decades, is attending the summit on behalf of the British government and at the invitation of the host, the United Arab Emirates. In his speech, he referred to the global effects of climate change, including flooding in Asia and severe forest fires in the United States, Canada and Greece, according to the report.
According to theDaily Mail, the monarch also said in his speech that his grandchildren will "live with the consequences of what we have done or not done" in 2050. However, he did not mention Prince William's (41) children George (10), Charlotte (8) and Louis (5) and Prince Harry's children Archie (4) and Lilibet (2) by name.
