On Friday The King hosted global leaders at Buckingham Palace to support action on restoring The Natural World .

" I think he's been struck by The Level of energy and passion shown by Young People on these subjects, and was keen to put something into their hands which was about those basic facts and figures, basic ideas, but also with his personal message in there, " Mr Juniper said.
In 2017 The King and Mr Juniper wrote a book for adults about Climate Change . The new publication aims to make The topic accessible for 7-11 year-olds and is " trying to bring The facts to The fingertips of The People who've got most to gain by finding solutions In Time , " Mr Juniper explained.

The King 's reception followed a major government meeting aimed at kick-starting private fundraising to deliver on promises made at The UN's COP15 summit in December.
Environment Secretary Thérèse Coffey said The Meeting was aimed at mobilising private finance to meet goals set at COP15.
" Instead of constantly playing catch-up and repairing The damage that's subsequently happened, which can cost even more money, let's get solutions now, " Ms Coffey told Bbc News .

" We want The King to be an intermediary for our people with The Other countries, " said Amazon leader Domingo Peas.
