British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak will urge world leaders to move “further and faster” in transitioning away from damaging fossil fuels in a speech Monday to the COP27 climate change summit in Egypt, his office said.
LONDON, United Kingdom –
Sunak — who had originally not intended to attend the summit — will argue that the “shock” to the oil and gas markets caused by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine underlines the need to move to cheaper, cleaner and safer sources of energy. But that fuelled doubts about Sunak’s interest in the planetary emergency, and critics said the inexperienced leader was passing up an opportunity to rub shoulders with the likes of US President Joe Biden and European peers.
In a statement ahead of his departure on Sunday, Sunak said: “When the world came together in Glasgow last year, nations agreed an historic roadmap for preventing catastrophic global warming. It is more important than ever that we deliver on those pledges.
