Rishi Sunak has been urged to make a U-turn on his decision to snub the Cop 27 climate change meeting in Egypt next week.
The new Prime Minister has faced a backlash from eco experts who said it would be ‘valuable’ for him to attend.
He is considering changing his focus and heading to the meeting of World Leaders, it has been claimed.
His earlier insistence that he must focus on the ‘depressing domestic challenges’ rather than go to the summit sparked a backlash in the Tory ranks.
The Government’s climate tsar Alok Sharma said he was ‘disappointed’ by the move, while Tory former chancellor George Osborne asked why Mr Sunak would ‘trash’ the party’s record on the environment.
