Watch Prince William's Talk with David Attenborough About How World Leaders Can Tackle Environmentalism
This morning, while his wife Kate Middleton was working away on her mission to help children in the U.K., Prince William was calling attention to a passion point of his own.
William and beloved British broadcaster David Attenborough took to the stage at the World Economic Forum in Davos-one of the world's most high profile international gatherings-to discuss the past and future of environmentalism. You can watch the entire 30-minute conversation below:
The pair discussed Attenborough's ecological advocacy, a cause he's managed to champion through a series of hit television programs, among other initiatives. They also talked about the formidable challenges in store for future generations of green activists.
Prince William has long been an admirer of Attenborough's work. He's credited the broadcaster as "the single most important impact in my conservation thinking." And in 2016 BBC program tied to Attenborough's 90th birthday, William called him a "national treasure... I used to love, and I still do, but when I was a young boy, used to love turning on the television and watching David's programs and really feeling like I was back out in Africa or I was learning about something magical and almost out of this planet."
At 92, Attenborough isn't slowing down. Just yesterday, while accepting a Crystal Award at Davos for his environmental leadership, Attenborough called once again for action in the face of a changing climate. "We can create a world with clean air and water, unlimited energy and fish stocks that will sustain us well into the future. But to do that, we need a plan."
