Over the last 50 years, Charles III has been very public about his concern for the environment, with many of his statements blurring the lines of the Crown\u2019s political neutrality. In this way, his accession to the throne is expected to limit his ability to be outspoken about matters of public policy. Yet, it also marks the first time that the UK has a declared environmentalist as Head of State.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe have to put ourselves on what might be called a war-like footing,\u201d the King said during the COP26 climate conference in 2021. In his speech, he called for \u201ca vast military-style campaign\u201d that would \u201cmarshal the strength of the global private sector\u201d and mobilise it for the climate fight. But is this a battle that he can \u2013 or even should \u2013 lead?&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The King delivered his first condemnation of single-use plastic at the age of 21, seven years before the phrase \u2018global warming\u2019 was coined. He recently recalled being called \u2018dotty\u2019 and \u2018mad\u2019 when he made the decision to invest in regenerative organic agriculture in his Highgrove estate, back in 1985. The criticism did not stop him. Seven years later, produce from the farm was used by the prince to start Duchy Originals \u2013 now Waitrose Duchy Organic \u2013 the UK\u2019s largest own-label organic food and drink brand. Since 2009, the company has generated over \u00a334m for The Prince of Wales\u2019s Charitable Fund, which has been used to fund innovative farming projects such as a new field lab aiming to revolutionise grass management by using data from space to boost productivity.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIf farmers know more accurately how their pastures are performing, they can develop their business to make better use of them, delivering more forage for their animals,\u201d says Kate Still, livestock adviser for Innovative Farmers and the Soil Association. \u201cThis increased\u202finformation on productivity can build confidence to farm more agro-ecologically, creating healthier soils that can store more carbon and support more wildlife.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Read the complete article by clicking below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button has-custom-width wp-block-button__width-25\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-background\" href=\"https:\/\/eandt.theiet.org\/content\/articles\/2023\/05\/charles-iii-a-green-king\/\" style=\"border-radius:8px;background-color:#106b22\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Compete Article on <\/strong>ET<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cIt all seems obvious to me,\u201d King Charles III recently told German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier, referring to the need for a green transition.
