Boris Johnson confirms he will attend COP27

The former Prime Minister’s comments come after Mr Sunak faced intense criticism for the decision not to attend the climate gathering in Egypt

Boris Johnson has confirmed he will attend the Cop27 climate summit in Egypt – heaping pressure on new Prime Minister Rishi Sunak to attend.

The former PM told Sky News he was “invited by the Egyptians” to the climate conference that kicks off on Sunday in Sharm El-Sheikh.

He said he was “very happy to go” claiming he has a “particular interest” in the subject after the UK hosted the Cop26 summit in Glasgow last year.

Reports of Mr Johnson’s intention to attend the gathering first emerged over the weekend, prompting concern in Government, according to The Observer.
