Former UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson is attending the United Nations talks on climate change, COB 27, which kicks off next week in Egypt, increasing pressure on current Prime Minister Rishi Sonak to attend the same, according to Bloomberg News Agency on Tuesday.
When asked by “Sky News” today if he will go to the COP 27 meeting, which will take place from November 6 to 18, Johnson responded, “Yes, in fact, the Egyptians invited me.
” Johnson’s confirmation of pressure on Sonak increases to attend the talks to show his commitment to combating climate change, especially as questions were raised about his seriousness in facing the issue when he held the position of Minister of Treasury in the Ministry of Johnson.
Sonak’s absence from the “COB 27” climate summit was announced by the British government late last month. This drew criticism and claims that Sonak had failed to lead the summit.
Sonak’s prime minister will not be at the summit, according to a spokesman, because of “other urgent local obligations.” He was referring to the “de facto” budget, which will be announced by the government on November 17 and is expected to contain spending cuts and tax increases to address the economic crisis sweeping Britain.
The government is dedicated to supporting “Cup 27” and the initiative of global action to combat climate change and save the environment, the spokesman said.
Sonak studies for his job as Johnson attends the 27 Cup summit.
