🔴 Rishi Sunak and King Charles urged to attend COP27 by government-appointed UK climate action champion 💬 'For me it's really disappointing that the prime minister can't take one day – he could be back in time to read stories to his kids'
“I’m speaking as a British citizen but not as a representative of the Government,” he added.
The High Level Climate Action Champion role is the bridge between the Presidency and the Parties – national governments – and “non-state actors”, such as businesses, investors, cities and other sub-national governments, and civil society. The role plays a key part in the discussions and has a global remit, establishing the “Race to Zero” campaign to get all parties to commit to net zero emissions.
Mr Topping was the chief executive of We Mean Business, a coalition of NGOs, until December 2019, where, according to the United Nations website, “he drove radical collaboration for climate action among NGOs working with the world’s most influential businesses”. “This coalition played a key role in bringing the constructive voice of business in support of the Paris Agreement and, under Nigel’s leadership, has continued to drive ambition and action to accelerate the transition to a zero carbon economy,” the website reads.
