Prince supporting youngsters' effort on climate change

- RUSSELL MYERS

PRINCE William believes young people are the future of his climate movement as he marks their mammoth efforts to save the planet.

As the Prince of Wales gears up for the Earthshot Prize in Cape Town, South Africa, next week, plans have been revealed for him to meet 120 youngsters from across Africa and Southeast Asia to hear how he and his awards can support them on their mission to combat the climate emergency.

William set up the environmental project to distribute £50million over the course of a decade to five winners each year who are launching ideas to solve some of the largest issues humanity faces.
