Due to Liz Truss’s resignation announcement, a new leadership election will be held to choose the next Conservative leader and prime minister.
By October 28, the winner of the competition to replace her will be announced.
The choice of whether or not to attend the climate summit, which takes place from November 6 to 18, will ultimately be made by “whatever administration is in place,” according to Secretary Kerry.
Charles spent decades advocating for environmental problems as the Prince of Wales.
Now that he is king, he has to follow specific laws, and the monarch is expected to stay out of politics.
Promoters of climate change action, according to Secretary Kerry, are not “political.”
It’s a global, multifaceted existential crisis, and his leadership has been critical.
With permission from the government, the King went to Egypt as the Prince of Wales in November to ask the Egyptian government to do more and meet with President Abdul Fattah al-Sissi.
Egypt, which was hosting the conference, told the UK not to change its position on the global climate agenda after it was said that King Charles would not be there.
Additionally, Secretary Kerry said in a statement to BBC News on Friday that the present administration’s policies had “raised some issues.”
He said that the US is worried about a number of countries that might not keep their promises about climate change.
