The 73-year-old heir to the throne also praised his late father Prince Philip’s concern for the planet in an essay for Newsweek
Charles features on the cover of a special climate change edition of the US mag, out on January 14, with the quote: “Our children are judging us.”
He wrote: “The world is on the brink and we need the mobilising urgency of a war-like footing if we are to win.
“As a father, I am proud that my sons have recognised this threat.
"Most recently, my elder son, William, launched the prestigious Earthshot Prize to incentivise change and help repair our planet over the next ten years.
“And my younger son, Harry, has passionately highlighted the impact of climate change, especially in relation to Africa, and committed his charity to being net zero.”
In the essay, Charles also describes how he has seen first-hand the effects of climate change during visits to Jordan, Egypt and, most recently, Barbados.
