SCOTTISH First Minister Nicola Sturgeon has demanded to see Boris Johnson face-to-face for urgent climate talks ahead of the COP26 summit in November.
In a letter to the Prime Minister she said a summit of the UK’s four nations must be convened in order to “provide clear leadership” at the International meeting in Glasgow.
Earlier this week, the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) released a report, painting a stark picture of the impact of humanity on the climate due to the burning of fossil fuels and other pollutants.
Pushing for a meeting, she said she wanted to work with Mr Johnson on climate change.
She said: “Climate change is an inherently global issue and can only be address through coordinated international effort and working with offers.
“COP26 in Glasgow therefore represents the world’s best chance- perhaps our last chance – to avert the worst impacts of climate change.
“The signals we send at this time are of the utmost importance and it is essential that we demonstrate global leadership on the challenging decisions that need to be made.
“I am therefore writing to suggest that a four nations summit be convened in early course to discuss how we can work together, both in the run up to COP and beyond, to ensure that individually and collectively we are providing this clear leadership.”
