made a , in which he spoke about the need to tackle climate change at a conference. The Duke of Sussex, who attended the event as part of his role as founder of Travalyst, a sustainable travel organisation, declared at the event that climate change is a "critical business emergency".
However, while the duke may have had good intentions, his presence at the event has backfired as he would have generated a massive amount of carbon emissions just travelling to the country from his home in America. the carbon emissions calculator of FlightFree USA, a campaign group urging people to fly less, says that a passenger making a return flight from Los Angeles to Shanghai would cause more emissions of greenhouse gases in a single trip than 3.5 billion people emit over the course of a year.
