Prince Harry Voices Climate Concerns for Children

During UN Climate Week 2024, Prince Harry expressed deep concerns for his children, Archie and Lilibet, highlighting the alarming effects of climate change they may face. He revealed that children born in 2020 are likely to endure significantly more environmental disasters compared to those born in 1960, which he described as 'absolutely terrifying.' Speaking at an event for his non-profit, Travalyst, he emphasized the need for sustainable tourism that prioritizes the welfare of people and ecosystems over profit. Harry portrayed tourism as a 'double-edged sword' that can both benefit and harm communities if not managed properly. He called for a balanced approach to travel, acknowledging the heartbreaking suffering climate change has inflicted on many communities. His advocacy extends to addressing the broader impacts of social media and mental health on the younger generation.
