Prince Charles in Parliament: ‘Doomsday clock of climate change is ticking’

Prince Charles called for the 'biggest public, private and NGO partnership ever seen' to tackle climate change and halt the destruction of the world's tropical forests in a speech to Members of the European Parliament on 14 February 2008. He said any measures to tackle climate change cannot succeed 'without a strong lead from Europe and its citizens'. He welcomed the recent climate proposals from the European Commission.
