SUNAK TO ATTEND COP27

LONDON: Britain’s new Prime Minister Rishi Sunak announced that he would join the UN climate conference in Egypt after all, having provoked anger for refusing to attend the global event, which starts tomorrow, early into his tenure. Sunak had argued that domestic commitments would keep him away from COP27 in the Red Sea resort of Sharm el-Sheikh, after inheriting an economic crisis from predecessor Liz Truss. “There is no longterm prosperity without action on climate change,” Sunak said. |
