King Charles III will not be attending next month’s Cop27 climate change summit in Egypt, Buckingham Palace has confirmed.

Charles has a longstanding and passionate commitment to environmental issues. As Prince of Wales, he addressed the Cop26 summit in Glasgow last year. His elder son, William, the then-Duke of Cambridge, also spoke at the event, while Queen Elizabeth recorded an opening address urging world leaders to take action on climate change.
