The monarch noted that while there is hope, there is “much work to be done” and that it will “very likely take several generations to achieve it.” King Felipe said, “To all those who, in one way or another and the scope of their responsibilities, have the ability to guide and facilitate the change towards a development model compatible and respectful of the limits of our planet.”
