The Prince of Wales will tell the world how we are
‘running out of time’ to defeat the climate emergency on his new TV channel.
Prince
Charles is the editor-in-chief of new environmental channel RE:TV, which is
available today on Amazon Prime Video.
The channel
aims to encourage businesses and individuals around the world to actively work
towards sustainability.
Speaking in
The Time to Act is Now film, Prince Charles said: ‘I’ve spent a lot my lifetime
trying to engage people and businesses with the issues and solutions of the
climate crisis.
‘RE:TV was
therefore set up with the aim of capturing the will and imagination of humanity
and champion the most inspiring solutions for sustainability from around the
world.
‘I hope
that with this partnership with Prime Video we can bring these inspiriting
innovations and ideas to a wider audience and demonstrate together what is
possible in the pursuit of a sustainable future.’
He added
the films are an ’embodiment’ of his more than four-decade vision to address
pressing concerns including a rapid transition to net-zero carbon emissions.
RE:TV also
includes a direct plea from His Royal Highness Prince Charles that ‘we must act
now’ – though he says there ‘is hope’.
Programmes
on the channel provide a showcase of the best examples from across the world of
how to tackle climate change.
Curated by
Charles, the RE:TV team has identified businesses that specialise in the most
innovative approaches to reusing and recycling.
The films
cover a wide range of topics including recycling coffee, reseeding rainforests,
refining solar, revitalising cities and remodelling fashion.
The names
of some of the programmes are ‘Remapping Restoration’, ‘Recycling Everything’
and ‘Refuelling Aviation’.
RE:TV
worked with local TV crews and international partners to highlight important
projects across Asia, Africa, North America and Europe.
They intend
to be positive and forward-thinking – showing how human innovation has the
potential to save the planet if cultivated in the right way.
Amazon
Prime members can watch it here or by searching for RE:TV on their Prime Video
app on mobile, tablets, smart TVs or Fire TV.
