Rishi Sunak must stick to £11.6bn climate commitment, say MPs

Tories, including former net zero tsar, among signatories to letter urging PM not to let down developing countries

Rishi Sunak must uphold his £11.6bn climate finance commitment, conservative parliamentarians, including the former net zero tsar, have said.

Writing to the prime minister in a cross-party letter, they say recommitting to the target and clearly demonstrating how it would be met would “avoid doing further damage to the UK’s climate leadership, and help to build a safe and more prosperous future”.
