British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak announced Wednesday he will attend the COP27 climate conference, slated for November 6 in Sharm El Sheikh.

“There is no long-term prosperity without action on climate change. There is no energy security without investing in renewables,” Sunak wrote on Twitter.

He said he will be attending the gathering to “deliver on Glasgow’s legacy of building a secure and sustainable future” – a reference to the deal struck in the British city at last year’s event. The deal was meant to ensure that the world still has a chance to avert the worst impacts of global warming.
