Buckingham Palace announced on November 1 that King Charles III will deliver a speech at the opening of the climate conference.

The full program for the opening day of the conference on Thursday has not yet been released.

Other notable speakers during the conference include Pope Francis, a first-time participant in a climate COP, Senegalese President Macky Sall, French President Emmanuel Macron, and Indonesian President Joko Widodo.
