Speaking at an event at the Royal Society of London, the prince said, "Before us we have a rapidly narrowing window of opportunity - as individuals, as governments, companies, nations, and as an international community - to act with the scale and urgency needed to undertake the transition towards a radically more sustainable and resilient long-term global economic model."
The Prince has long taken an interest in and campaigned for green issues. He has regularly spoken about the long-term effects of climate change and the need for action.
The international community faces an "enormous challenge" between now and 2015 in order to negotiate a new set of highly ambitious sustainable development goals, added the Prince.
Step Up To Serve, an organisation that aims to get young people involved in social action, has also received backing from the prince, along with the leaders of the three main political parties. The pledges through the initiative include the Cabinet Office committing to involve young people in the working of at least 30 public service mutuals.
