RISHI Sunak WILL attend Cop27 climate summit next week and vows to take action on climate change.

The PM announced the change in position today, after Boris Johnson confirmed he was going last night.

Rishi Sunak said he will go to COP27 next week

He previously said he would be too busy to go.

And he needed to work on the upcoming Autumn Statement.

But Mr Sunak said this morning: “There is no long-term prosperity without action on climate change. There is no energy security without investing in renewables.

“That is why I will attend @COP27P next week: to deliver on Glasgow’s legacy of building a secure and sustainable future.”
