Rishi Sunak says the UK is ‘leading the charge’ against climate change but needs to ‘do more’ at COP28

Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has spoken at climate conference COP28 to discuss the UK’s place in the fight against climate change.

The Prime Minister said: “I’m here at COP 28 with two clear messages. First, the world needs to do more to tackle climate change.

“We’ve made real progress, including at the Glasgow summit, but the climate science and mounting evidence of climate related disasters show that we’re not moving quickly or effectively enough.

“So I’m calling on major emitters to dramatically accelerate delivery on what they’ve already promised. Everyone can do more.

“And let’s be very clear, the UK is leading the charge. We’re absolutely committed to our Net 0 targets.”

Sunak also announced new environmental measures, such as a new deal to bring £11 billion in investment to the UK’s new wind farm at Dogger Bank.
