Cop28 opens in Dubai
Rishi Sunak said the UK can “stay strong” at the Cop28 climate conference as it continues to be a “leader” in the fight against climate change despite a setback to its domestic ambitions.
The prime minister also praised the king for his participation in the annual United Nations climate talks in Dubai, saying Charles’ role shows Britain’s authority on environmental issues.
Sunak will announce £1.6 billion in international climate finance, including support for projects to end deforestation and accelerate the transition to renewable energy.

This afternoon temperatures are rapidly falling below freezing and severe frosts are occurring across the country. Icy patches of fog form inland, especially in the east. Winter rains are hitting many other western coasts. The minimum temperature is -7°C.
