The Prince of Wales, 42, delivered a speech via video call from the U.K. during an event for The Campaign for Nature, which aims to protect the world’s oceans and natural land.

“We now have just five years to deliver on our collective promise,” he said, referencing a promise by the campaign to “reverse biodiversity loss by 2030.” The prince noted that “one million species face extinction” at the moment.

“We are living at odds with the natural world – and it is buckling under the pressure of our actions,” he said.

William also called on leaders “to halt the unsustainable production and consumption of natural resources” in order “to keep this planet livable for our children and grandchildren.”
