The Prince of Wales is launching an ambitious Magna Carta-style charter calling on business and industry to lead the fight against the climate crisis

Calling for urgent action and practical effort to mobilise the financial resources and innovation needed, he will add:"It is this which will determine whether or not our children and grandchildren look back on a series of broken promises or, instead, reflect on a tipping point at which the world shifted to a more sustainable, equitable and prosperous trajectory.

Brian Moynihan, CEO of BoA and one of the founding partners, has been working closely with the prince on the project and told Sky News:"That's one of the things that people need to understand, no-one is required to join this, this is the convening power of the Prince of Wales, it's a coalition of willing.

"Most companies agree that this is where they've got to go. I think society has to help encourage them," he added. "Because at the end of the day, that may stop one participant, but we've got to have a broader avenue where everybody comes together, because you need the entire capital system to align to make this happen."'We're at the last hour': Charles' climate warningcoronavirusEnvironmental campaigner Tony Juniper has worked with the prince on a number of projects over the years.
