Britain's new Prime Minister Sunak will not attend the United Nations climate change conference COP27 in Egypt in November.
As the UK, which held COP26 last year as the chair country, appealed for its leading role in climate change countermeasures, some people are skeptical about the government's stance.
This was announced by the British Prime Minister's Office on the 27th.
Sunak, who took office this week, will not attend the United Nations climate change conference COP27 in Egypt in November.
Reasons include "I have other urgent business in the UK".
Local media also reported that Prime Minister Sunak removed the minister in charge of climate change from the weekly Cabinet meeting during the opening of the parliament.
As the chair of COP26, which was held in Scotland last year, the UK has emphasized its leading role in addressing climate change.
However, it is reported that King Charles, who has been focusing on environmental issues for many years, gave up attending COP27 at the request of former Prime Minister Truss, raising questions about the British government's stance.
