ActionAid's reaction to the news that UK climate change minister Graham Stuart left COP28 today.
Reacting to the news that UK climate change minister Graham Stuart left COP28 today, at a critical point, ActionAid UK's Co-Director of Policy, Advocacy and Programmes Hannah Bond said:
"As world leaders are locked in intense negotiations to discuss the existential threat posed by climate disaster, the departure of minister Stuart is yet a further slap in the face to countries urging major polluters like the UK to act.
"In a shocking betrayal of trust as COP28 wraps up, the Prime Minister seems happier to fight the culture wars and not climate change."
