Prince Charles has arrived in Glasgow for the UN climate change conference ahead of giving a speech to world leaders.
He carried a huge folder and posed for photographs with his wife Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall as COP26 kicked off.
The Prince of Wales, who will address leaders alongside Boris Johnson, is expected to stress the urgency of action - calling for the world to be on a 'war-like footing'.
The Royal will warn: 'We have to put ourselves on what might be called a war-like footing.'
He will urge world leaders to systematically engage with business to solve the climate crisis.
Charles will add: 'We need a vast military-style campaign to marshal the strength of the global private sector, with trillions at its disposal.'

Prince Charles was among those who travelled by non-commercial plane from the G20 in Rome, MailOnline revealed.
But a source insisted he would have 'only agreed to travel' after checking the aircraft was using sustainable fuel.
A Clarence House spokesman said: 'His Royal Highness has personally campaigned for a shift towards Sustainable Aviation Fuel and would only undertake travel to Rome when it was agreed that sustainable fuel would be used in the plane.'
The spokesman said sustainable fuel would be used 'wherever possible... from now on'.

Last night the Prince of Wales sat down with billionaire Amazon boss Jeff Bezos and his girlfriend Lauren Sanchez.
The trio were seen in a photograph shared on Bezos's social media enjoying a cup of tea at Dumfries House, a Scottish country mansion 40 minutes from Glasgow.
Mr Bezos and Ms Sanchez were seated on blue Chippendale armchairs surrounded by ornate portraits hanging in the Resplendent Blue Drawing room.
The Amazon boss smiled as the heir gestured close to a cup of tea perched on a table, while Ms Sanchez leans forward, listening intently.
Bezos wrote: 'The Prince of Wales has been involved in fighting climate change and protecting our beautiful world for five decades — far longer than most.
'We had a chance to discuss these important issues on the eve of #COP26 — looking for solutions to heal our world, and how the @BezosEarthFund can help.'
