The King has been hailed as a “visionary” who “wants action” at a reception to celebrate an initiative working to create a nature-first economy. The Circular Bioeconomy Alliance’s Chief Executive Marc Palahi said: “We’ve been creating an economy developed at the expense of nature and climate and now we have reached a tipping point. We need to move towards an economy that prospers in harmony with nature, which has been the vision of His Majesty . For decades he has pioneered thinking on that.”
