Nov. 2 (UPI) \u2014<\/span> New British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak announced Wednesday he will attend the COP27 conference on climate change next week after all.<\/p>\n

No. 10 Downing Street had previously announced that Sunak was too focused on domestic issues to attend the conference in Sharm El Sheikh, Egypt, while reiterating a commitment to Britain\u2019s net-zero agenda.\n<\/p>\n

But Sunak tweeted Wednesday, \u201cThere 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 COP27.\u201d<\/p>\n

There is no long-term prosperity without action on climate change.<\/p>\n

There is no energy security without investing in renewables.<\/p>\n

That is why I will attend @COP27P next week: to deliver on Glasgow\u2019s legacy of building a secure and sustainable future.\u2014 Rishi Sunak (@RishiSunak) November 2, 2022<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n

The conference runs Sunday through Nov. 18.<\/p>\n

The earlier decision not to attend angered supporters of the British government\u2019s net zero policy, which seeks to reach net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe hope that, as prime minister, you will use your power to support environmental politics, which improve the economy whilst enhancing the environment at home and abroad,\u201d a cross-party environmental group of parliamentarians wrote to Sunak.\n<\/p>\n

Under previous Prime Minister Liz Truss, it was agreed that King Charles III, who previously attended COP26 in Scotland, would not attend COP27.<\/p>\n
