Prince Charles has delivered a striking message for Scott Morrison and other world leaders ahead of the UN's climate change conference.

This year, the UN Climate Change Conference (COP26) will be held from Sunday 31st October to Friday 12th November.

Expected to attend are leaders including U.S. president Joe Biden, U.K. Prime Minister Boris Johnson, the Pope, as well as The Queen, Prince Charles, Prince William and the Duchess of Cambridge.

During an interview with the BBC, Prince Charles was told that Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison remained on the fence about attending.

"Is that what he says?" the heir to the throne asked climate editor Justin Rowlatt.

When asked what the Prince of Wales would say to leaders about why they should attend the conference, Charles emphasised that this meeting is a "last chance saloon" explaining that if change doesn't happen now, it will be "almost impossible to catch up".

"It is already beginning to be catastrophic because nothing in nature can survive the stress that is created by these extremes of weather," Charles said.

Upon being pressed about his advice to the Australian government with regards to their inaction when it comes to climate change, Prince Charles gave his reply.

"I mean you gently try to suggest there may be other ways of doing things, in my case anyway, otherwise you lot (the media) accuse me of interfering and meddling, don't you?"

Prince Charles has long been an advocate for climate change, making his first environmental speech over 50 years ago.

The future king also created the Sustainable Markets Initiative, encouraging businesses to foster environmental sustainability, and has urged for a Terra Carta - a roadmap which tackles climate and biodiversity crises - according to The Guardian.
