Prince Albert II Foundation marks 20 years at Monte-Carlo Opera gala
By Zak Jackson, MonacoViews Editorial
The Opéra de Monte-Carlo hosts a milestone anniversary gala this Friday evening as the Prince Albert II Foundation celebrates two decades of environmental action.
This Friday evening, the Opéra de Monte-Carlo becomes the setting for a high-profile anniversary gala marking 20 years of the Prince Albert II of Monaco Foundation. Philanthropists and public figures are expected to attend what is one of the Principality's most significant environmental fundraising events of the year.
Founded in 2006, the Foundation has spent two decades working on climate, biodiversity and water issues, with programmes spanning the Arctic, Africa and the Mediterranean. Its vice-president has described the Foundation's record as extremely positive, pointing to concrete on-the-ground results across its core focus areas.
The gala arrives at a moment when the Foundation's leadership is keen to reinforce that environmental challenges are no longer abstract or distant. Friday's event is both a celebration of what has been achieved and a call to sustain momentum through the next phase of the Foundation's work.
