An opportunity for H.S.H. the Sovereign Prince to take the floor in order to thank guests, who, by attending, demonstrated their interest for the Foundation’s actions in favour of the preservation of the planet.

“It is a cause which is greater than any of us. It is a good and far-reaching cause that transcends humanity itself and concerns our entire world”, H.S.H. Prince Albert II of Monaco underlined, adding that “For the last twelve years, my Foundation has initiated or supported more than four hundred projects throughout the world, and every single one has allowed us to advance, to hope, to believe. (…) Today, the results are visible, and nurture greater mobilisation of our contemporaries - our main hope for change”.
