Charles, Prince of Wales met with Ugandan climate activist Vanessa Nakate on Thursday to discuss the role of young people in ensuring the health of the planet for future generations. Nakate, who happens to be a graduate of Makerere University Business School (MUBS) is respected by several leaders for her role in fighting for the planet’s health.
“The Prince of Wales today spoke to Ugandan climate activist @vanessa_vash about the role young people can play in ensuring the health of the planet for future generations.” A statement shared on Prince’s Twitter account reads.
Nakate is seen talking to the Prince, moments after shaking hands with the Wales traditional leader.
Charles, Prince of Wales, is the heir apparent to the British throne as the eldest son of Queen Elizabeth II. He has been heir apparent as well as Duke of Cornwall and Duke of Rothesay since 1952 and is both the oldest and the longest-serving heir apparent in British history.
Nakate started her activism in December 2018 after becoming concerned about the unusually high temperatures in Uganda. She started the Green Schools Project, a renewable energy initiative, which aims to transition schools in Uganda to solar energy and install eco-friendly stoves in these schools.
