Speaking to journalists in New York at the start of a three-day visit to the US, the UK prime minister urged developed countries to come forward with additional funding to help tackle the climate crisis. ‘It is the developed world that for over 200 years has put the carbon [dioxide] in the atmosphere, so it really is up to us to help them,’ he said.
The comments came as the UK finalised preparations for hosting the Cop26 summit in Glasgow in November
