HSH Prince Albert II commented at the Gala, “Today the Oceans, which represent over One Billion Cubic Kilometres, are Vulnerable. Today, these Expanses which cover over Two-Thirds of the Planet are threatened more than they have ever been before in the History of Humankind. Today, the Oceans need us“¦ They need us to protect them. They need us to establish a New Relationship with them : more Attentive, more Responsible, more Sustainable.“
Accepting the Award from the Sovereign, Orlando Bloom said: “The Urgency of Climate Change has never rung Louder than it is Now. The Science is Clear. And what will they say of us, a Hundred Years from Now, since we knew but sat and did Nothing ? The World is changing, and we need to change our Habits along with it.“¨ So I would challenge you to think what Impact you can make and what Legacy you will leave for your Children and Grandchildren because I truly believe that each and every Individual is capable of creating Real and Monumental Change.“
