On this 50th anniversary of Earth Day, our President, HRH The Prince of Wales, released an optimistic message about building a sustainable future together.

He said the devastating COVID-19 crisis could be an opportunity to reshape and re-imagine the future, “I can only hope that as this current crisis passes we are able to reflect on, and shape, the type of world we want for ourselves and for future generations”.

The Prince called for a green recovery, “As we move from rescue to recovery, we have a unique window of opportunity to learn lessons and position ourselves on a more sustainable path”.

He encouraged the citizens of the world to join him in building a more sustainable future, “Together, I am confident that we can use this crisis to reset our course by putting people and planet first”.
