UK’s PM Sunak Will Announce Accelerated Renewables Plan at COP27

Rishi Sunak, Britain’s Prime Minister, will pledge to hasten the UK’s switch to renewable energy when he speaks before the U.N. climate change summit at COP27. On November 2, UK’s PM Sunak decided at the last minute to attend the climate talks, reversing a decision to forego the yearly event that had been roundly criticised by environmentalists and political opponents.

The Russian invasion of Ukraine made the need to transition to cleaner energy sources even more urgent, and the PM will assure that the assembled politicians and business executives that Britain will cooperate with its friends to accelerate this process.

Sunak stated in a statement released by his office that “Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and disgusting manipulation of energy prices has further emphasised the urgency of terminating our dependence on fossil fuels. We need to convert to renewable energy farther and more quickly, and I’ll make sure the UK leads this worldwide effort.”

UK’s PM Sunak will enjoin leaders to uphold the commitments they made when Britain hosted the COP26 summit in Glasgow last year. He will moderate a discussion on forests and the natural world and hold talks on energy security, green technologies, and environmental preservation.

Sunak commended King Charles during the monarch hosted a banquet at Buckingham Palace for world leaders, including John Kerry, the U.S. special envoy for climate change. Sunak praised the monarch for his “far-sighted leadership” in combating climate change.
