British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak will also not be present at the United Nations Climate Change Conference.

The Minister for the Environment, Thérèse Coffey, has played down the importance of the absence of the Head of Government, assuring that the United Kingdom will set an example of “global leadership” on environmental issues and argued that COP27 is not “one of the great political summits” international.

Alok Sharma, president of the COP26, which was organized last year in the Scottish city of Glasgow, instead criticized the position of the British Executive.

I understand that he has a plethora of domestic issues to deal with, but I think that going to COP27 would allow him to make contact with other world leaders”, Sharma said in an interview published today by “The Sunday Times”.
