The letter arrives weeks before the COP28 climate summit, where a mooted target to phase out fossil fuels is expected to ignite fierce debate. Rishi Sunak's commitment to climate action has been questioned after recent policies perceived as being anti-green.
A group of MPs is pressuring Rishi Sunak to lobby other countries to commit to a 'phase out' of fossil fuels at next month's COP28 climate negotiations. Over 50 cross-party MPs and peers have written to the prime minister with demands they see as critical to ensuring the United Nations summit in Dubai is the 'moment that current and future generations need it to be'.
Perhaps surprisingly, this target has proved very incredibly contentious at previous COP summits, at which countries are supposed to agree collective next steps to tackle climate change. The commitment gained strong traction last year at COP27 in Egypt, with support from 80 nations inducing the UK. But it was forced out of the final political agreement by countries that are big polluters or rely on fossil fuel revenues, including petro-state Saudi Arabia.
