'Children have a unique curiosity for Nature and for this amazing planet we call home.' So writes His Majesty King Charles III in his introduction to It's Up to Us: A Children's Terra Carta for Nature, People and Planet.
Join His Majesty, author Christopher Lloyd and 33 amazing award-winning artists from around the world on a beautiful, lyrical and thought-provoking voyage through Nature, the threats we face and an action plan for the future.
It's Up to Us is based on the Terra Carta, a roadmap to sustainability issued by His Majesty King Charles III and his Sustainable Markets Initiative. More than 400 corporations have already signed on, agreeing to put the health of Nature, People & Planet at the heart of their activities. Now it's up to all of us to make sure our leaders keep their promises.
This book has been developed in partnership with The Prince's Foundation, a charity established by His Majesty to demonstrate how Nature can be put at the heart of human activities. Half of all the proceeds from sales will go directly to the work of the charity, based at Dumfries House in Scotland.
