The Duke of Cambridge has suggested young people could be the champions of environmental change in homes across the globe.
William’s comment came as he chatted to young activists recognised by a United Nations initiative. He highlighted how the next generation could educate their families about the “environmental impact” of their actions.
Seven young people have been named 2020 Young Champions of the Earth by the UN Environment Programme (UNEP) and William told them they could “easily be in the mix” for his Earthshot Prize.

Nzambi Matee, from Kenya, who manufactures sustainable building materials, told the duke it was hard to change the attitudes of older people, although her grandmother had adopted sustainability easily.
