Summary
The UN’s climate change conference COP27 will be held in Egypt, but Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and King Charles won’t be attending, raising questions about the UK’s commitment to tackling a warming world.<br /><br />US special climate envoy John Kerry said it would be "very powerful" if King Charles could attend, while climate activist Vanessa Nakate suggested if the UK continues to open new fossil fuel infrastructure, then it “is not a climate leader". <br /><br />On the Sky News Daily, Sally Lockwood is joined by Sky News’ Climate Change and Energy Correspondent Hannah Thomas-Peter ahead of COP, to explore if rich countries are doing enough to support the fight against climate change. <br /><br />Producers: Emma Rae Woodhouse and Rosie Gillott <br />Editor: Paul Stanworth <br />Podcast Promotions Producer: Soila Apparicio
