The Prince of Wales will address delegates alongside other speakers including former New York mayor Mike Bloomberg, former New Zealand Prime Minister Dame Jacinda Ardern, and Bill Gates, the co-founder of Microsoft.
The heir to the throne is set to travel to Singapore for the third Earthshot Prize Awards ceremony on November 7.
However, Princess Kate is reportedly not planning on joining her husband of 12 years for the special occasion.
