PRINCE Charles is launching a £7.5billion industry scheme in a bid to help save the planet.
The Prince of Wales will tell a summit today that mega-rich global companies can invest in sustainability projects.
The money has already been committed by private firms.
The aim is to get companies to improve the environment and spend on clean air and water, fertile soils and sediments and biodiversity.
The Prince’s “Terra Carta” initiative gives fundamental rights to the environment.
He will speak at the One Planet Summit, being held online due to Covid.
The Prince of Wales will say: “I am making an urgent appeal to leaders, from all sectors and from around the world to give their support to this ‘Terra Carta’.
“Sustainability is a choice. If we make it a part of our core values it will define our purpose, determine our choices and drive our actions.
“Whether as a business, an investor, an asset owner, or as a country, let us choose to make sustainability a core value.
“Together we can build the sustainable and prosperous future our children and grandchildren deserve.”
