UK U-turn: PM Sunak will attend UN climate conference at Egyptian resort
Fox News
Rishi Sunak, as chancellor of the exchequer in 2021, spoke at the COP26 summit in Glasgow and urged Britain's private sector to increase investment in green initiatives.
Sunak initially planned to avoid the summit, citing "pressing domestic commitments," including preparations for the autumn budget, but a government spokesperson had stressed that Britain remained "absolutely committed" to "leading international action to tackle climate change." Peter Aitken is a Fox News Digital reporter with a focus on national and global news.
But opposition party leaders and climate critics insisted that Britain could not lead if it was not present, pressuring Sunak to reverse his decision.
