Speaking before the Cop27 summit, Prime Minister says progress on environmental issues is vital for Britain’s future prosperity and security
Fighting climate change is not just a “moral good” but central to future British economic success and resilience, Rishi Sunak has said on the eve of the Cop27 summit.
The Prime Minister will address the meeting in Egypt on Monday and is set to chair a meeting of world leaders on forests and nature.
The UK is also expected to confirm new funding packages to help conserve threatened tropical rainforests and support countries on the frontline of climate change.
Mr Sunak insisted it was “more important than ever” to deliver on the pledges made at last year’s Cop26 conference in Glasgow.
