Prince Charles Visits Brazil
[5] The Prince of Wales and his wife, The
Duchess of Cornwall are visiting Brazil as
part of their Latin American tour to promote
energy efficiency and measures to combat
[10] climate change.
In a speech delivered on Thursday, Prince
Charles said the world needs to
overcompensate for the damage humans
have caused to the environment.
[15] Otherwise, climate change could provoke
an economic meltdown and a flood of
refugees.
[Prince Charles, The Prince of Wales]:
“Why can't we take the wisest course and
[20] adopt a precautionary approach so, on top
of the resource demands we're making on
the world, we also have to reduce our
global CO2 emissions.”
But the heir to the British throne also gave
[25] praise, congratulating his Brazilian hosts for
their efforts to protect the Amazon
rainforest. Last year the Brazilian
government pledged to halve the rate of
Amazon deforestation, and is now using
[30] satellite surveillance technology to clamp
down on illegal logging.
Prince Charles has long advocated urgent
measures to reduce carbon emissions and
has also proposed issuing long-dated
[35] bonds to help fund sustainable
development projects ∈ countries where
tropical rainforest are being wiped out.
He and his wife already visited Chile, and
are due to fly later to Ecuador's Galapagos
[40] Islands.
