Prince Charles has a maybe surprising to some opinion about climate change activists like Extinction Rebellion and he understands their anger, also that of the Swedish kid - namely Greta:
The Prince of Wales tells the BBC he sympathises with protesters - but any action must be constructive.

And he worried that world leaders would "just talk" when they meet in Glasgow in November for a crucial UN climate conference.
Well, that's pretty much what they only do during these conferences, and that's the only thing that comes of these. Lots of talking, pious and virtuous vows, papers signed, clappings clappings, all you can eat buffet.
All in all he is right; the creation and proliferation of such movements and activists groups are understandable, their mounting frustration and growing "radicalization" as well. But as he said: it is not helpful, if not clearly counter-productive.
But Prince Charles is also someone who has been pretty invested in that field. Notably through his approach on farming and plant growing, in a more biological/natural way. If I remember correctly, I'll have to check my notes from way back when, he was one of the proponent, leading figure or innovator in that field, by "re-introducing" it in an era when agriculture and farming was mostly oriented toward a mass-production approach.
And though his initiatives are great, some of them being really impressive (the stuff he did with his Volante for instance), they are expensive and barely affordable, investment wise, to the everyday folks. You may be able to convert your house (as long as you own it, as opposed to renting it) but it requires lots of work, it is limited to actual houses (so, no apartment) and maybe/possibly house that are not part of a lot (in other words: stand alone houses, and not houses stuck to one another).
