The King has warned that the fight to save the “poor old planet” from climate change is “rapidly going backwards” as he urges world leaders and the public to do more to get it back on course.
But in footage filmed at his estates of Highgrove and Dumfries House, the King laments how, despite the efforts of governments and industry worldwide to reduce carbon emissions and reverse the loss of biodiversity, scientific modelling still shows how global warming is proceeding at pace and that he fears for the “poor old planet”.
“People don’t seem to understand it’s not just climate that’s the problem, it’s also biodiversity loss… So, we’re actually destroying our means of survival, all the time.
“To put that back together again is possible, but we should have been doing it long ago. We’ve got to do it as fast as we can now.”
The Amazon film, which will be streamed on Prime Video from Friday 6 February, is called *Finding Harmony: A King’s Vision*.
It is designed to showcase how the monarch’s principle of “harmony” – to encourage humans to work with nature not against it – has led to many environmental and educational projects at Highgrove, Dumfries House and around the world including in Afghanistan, Guyana and India.
A star-studded world premiere of the film was taking place at Windsor Castle on Wednesday evening.

The King has warned that the fight to save the “poor old planet” from climate change is “rapidly going backwards” as he urges world leaders and the public to do more to get it back on course.
In a new [feature-length documentary](https://inews.co.uk/news/king-urgent-message-gen-z-climate-change-4181736?srsltid=AfmBOopPknZYF-lCPHQzP46kzKEqSjq48xdL_mH29qt-pGCB5DAwFU3r&ico=in-line_link) on Prime Video, the monarch admits that in the 1970s and 1980s, when he first began to speak up about what humans were doing to the environment, people thought “I was completely bonkers”.
The film shows how after [more than 50 years of campaigning](https://inews.co.uk/news/how-political-king-using-influence-trump-green-issues-3746515?srsltid=AfmBOoqt5t3PbDMnsFScPUEDeOoL-4Ty7uELLjLPmp-cqd1bSK1G49xn&ico=in-line_link) – including [speeches at UN climate conferences](https://inews.co.uk/news/king-charles-cop28-speech-sunak-environment-policy-2787070?srsltid=AfmBOorcbPBCsnoZGj11Kqus7QEUu0jTuoS5O95Q1BypZ19Y0UEga9i3&ico=in-line_link) and bringing leaders and scientists together to discuss the issue – the message from the then Prince of Wales has now become widely accepted.

# Fight to save planet is ‘going backwards’
Asked for his views on the fight to save the planet from [climate change](https://inews.co.uk/news/year-freak-weather-climate-change-3414315?srsltid=AfmBOorddYU2DF0t8PZKf9P6Ih-Rr1G1PBpuiwetW6hB2TXpJg9g-CDk&ico=in-line_link), Charles says: “It’s rapidly going backwards… I can only do what I can do, which is not very much.
“People don’t seem to understand it’s not just climate that’s the problem, it’s also biodiversity loss… So, we’re actually destroying our means of survival, all the time.
