Prince William<\/a> is set to take his annual Earthshot Prize ceremony to China.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Prince William will take the Earthshot Prize ceremony to China<\/p>\n

The 41-year-old royal will stage the environmental awards in the world’s biggest polluter as he looks to engage with Beijing and accelerate change to its eco-policies.<\/p>\n

William’s approach is in stark contrast to that of his father King Charles – who has never visited the country because of his views on the regime’s treatment of Tibet and human rights record – and comes amid strained relations between the UK and China.<\/p>\n

The Prince of Wales is thought to believe that “you can’t exclude a big chunk of the planet when thinking about fighting for its future” and discussed his plans to stage the ceremony in China last week- when the winners of this year’s awards were announced in Singapore.<\/p>\n

A royal source told The Sunday Times newspaper: “Prince William<\/a> believes that when it comes to the climate and the environment, Asia is critical. He’s of the view you can’t exclude a big chunk of the planet when thinking about fighting for its future. To fast-forward the change and impact he wants, he knows he has to engage with China and India – two of the world’s biggest economies and biggest emitters of carbon dioxide.<\/p>\n

\n“This is not him commenting on government policy. This is about his approach to the environment and ability to create real global change. It is him thinking, ‘Where can I deliver impact and change not just here but around the world?’ That is his longer-term view.”<\/p>\n

\nA Kensington Palace spokesman said: “Scale and ambition is something the prince thinks a lot about. He wants to make Earthshot truly global.”<\/p>\n

\nWilliam previously visited China in 2015 and met with President Xi Jinping, although relations between the two countries were not as bad at the time.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
