Royal sources have described William's involvement at the forthcoming conference as assuming an crucial position in "environmental negotiations".
Previous Activities
The King and Prince of Wales, making a joint entrance in the state Bentley, were greeted guests including environmentalists, scientists, environmental activists, foreign representatives and government officials.
This participation included speaking alongside French leader Macron of France and other world leaders at the Marine Economy Conference in the Principality of Monaco during the current year.
Earthshot Awards Connection
The UN meeting will coincide with the prince's own climate innovation prizes, which will finish in the Brazilian city the day before he attends the climate conference on 6 November.
Last week the William characterized the prize competitors as "heroes of our time".

King Charles has been a influential participant at past COP meetings, giving the opening address in the United Arab Emirates for the 28th Conference of Parties, including the statement: "Our responsibility is to protect the world we inhabit".
"I have spent a substantial portion of my life trying to raise awareness about the survival risks challenging our world over climate change, climate change and biodiversity loss," the monarch informed delegates.
