Newsom abruptly cancels plans to attend UN Climate Change Conference
Gov. Gavin Newsom abruptly canceled plans on Friday to lead a California delegation to next week’s United Nations Climate Change Conference in Scotland, citing “family obligations” for the reason he is bowing out.
No further details were provided. Newsom had planned to attend the conference with his wife, documentary filmmaker Jennifer Siebel Newsom. The governor was scheduled to lead a delegation of state lawmakers and environmental leaders to “make the case that the state needs national and international partners to join us in committing to safeguard our future,” according to an earlier statement put out by the Newsom administration.
“No other state of America comes close to our leadership in that space,” Newsom told reporters on Wednesday during a news conference in Oakland.
