He wants businesses to do more to protect the planet as he marks 50 years of environmental campaigning.

He hopes the new charter will help "reunite people and planet".

He is due to say: "I can only encourage, in particular, those in industry and finance to provide practical leadership to this common project, as only they are able to mobilise the innovation, scale and resources that are required to transform our global economy." In his foreword to Terra Carta, the prince writes: "If we consider the legacy of our generation, more than 800 years ago, Magna Carta inspired a belief in the fundamental rights and liberties of people.

"As we strive to imagine the next 800 years of human progress, the fundamental rights and value of nature must represent a step-change in our 'future of industry' and 'future of economy' approach." Charles has previously said that people thought he was "completely dotty" when he started talking about environmental issues in the 1970s.

Now attend COP27 and ask again... and please let us know who joined (and who didn't)!

Great job well done !

RB_Citizen A king for the right moments is Charles. This is leadership

Evil satanic man this is

No wonder this country is going under!

Well done Prince Charles, you have been campaigning for change for such a long time I do hope you can get many more firms to join. Maybe the government can take a leaf out of your book and stop trying to get Gm crops etc grown in this country what's next Monsanto pesticides?

no thankyou

Can we knock up a mono charter and send him there pronto!

Irrelevant anachronism says what?

Nothing to say about his mother’s government allowing pollinator killing pesticides to be used in the U.K.? Our Green revolution, building back better, is off to a great start 🤦‍♀️ SaveOurBees

More points

Prince Charles has ALWAYS cared for our planet. The media scoffed at him because he cares for nature. They printed he talked to plants & trees. Long before Extinction R. polluted streets Prince Charles calmly was at the fire.

Climate change is the biggest threat against the human race, but he’s a hypocrite. Prince Charles is being lambasted for taking three private jet flights in 11 days as he lectured world leaders on climate change issues.

Prince Charles has persuaded businesses to contribute billions already. The more onboard with this the better for our world and us. We can all do our bit in some way. Look forward to hearing more about the TeraCarta initiative. 🌴🌲🌳🌴🌲🌳🌴🌲🌳

so what did william launch with attenborough- gets bitty and confusing all these separate initiatives :-( FridaysForFuture

Why don’t you tell your brother own up what he did

If any one is doubting how serious this is look at each temp rise think about how we survive on 🌎. Each 🌎tipping point is a ship sailed we cannot go back - 🌎the planet is fine it does NOT need any food water oxygen or any species inc humans 🌎still exists even if WE don’t

Isn't it funny nobody is crying about one heir overshadowing the other? Very interesting! But we know PC project is going to be more informative and productive.

Ah, the Windsors with their world-famous brand of political neutrality yet again!

Dont we need to help the 'people' first ? Im all for the planet but come on more pressing matters at the moment

the grotesqueness of this guy, travels by private jets, lives in 27 different residences and has hsi kids take private trains to visit ' the people' why the fuck would anyone take this hypocrite seriously, its shameful how divorced from reality he is

Brilliant news when there isn't much of it about! The only downside is that saving the planet unfortunately means saving humanity too.

Prince Charles has already persuaded these companies to contribute over £10 billion pounds to this initiative. We need more people on board from across the globe if we are going to make a difference. Our world matters.

Unelected..

Reading thos article and TC's own website, you'd be forgiven for thinking this is a noble cause for the benefit of all mankind. Dig a little deeper and you discover it's part of the NWO vision.

Remember, the BBC take TWICE as much of your money as Mi5, Mi6 and GCHQ combined!

Not being funny but as many many Companies are biting the dust, those who are hanging on cliff edge, tree hugging earth chartering ain’t going to be the top of the list of priorities I wouldn’t of thought🤷🏼‍♂️

I can’t figure out whether the name ‘Terra Carta’ is genius or awful

Good old Prince Charles!

PrinceCharles You might want to tell bawheid Johnson, your Tory Gov PM. That pesticides,kill bees and in turn kill food source. Before you ask anyone to join your Earth Charter' SaveBees🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝

This is awesome! Great leadership from the Monarch.

I think hes an alien from Mars, people sadly passing away, the country fxxxed by brexit and talk about out of touch !!!! Johnson as pm and him as future king .......ar.... I give up.

NYSE maybe some of your Corporate's could give some money back rather than support Insurrection. SenatorLoeffler care to contribute?

What arrogance!What an assault on ordinary working people..

Should Covid be rebranded as the trump virus in honor of the supreme spreader in the USA.

Is that like PornHub but without the ads? Cause I'm totally down.
