The Independent - World still on course for 1.5C target, insists Sunak

Summary of the front page

The Independent says as he left for Egypt, for one night only, Mr Sunak argued it is still possible to “limit global temperature rises to 1.5 degrees”, the point above which runaway climate change will be unstoppable.

But the UK was among 165 countries criticised for failing to beef-up promises to cut greenhouse gas emissions, as leaders agreed to do at Cop26 in Glasgow a year ago.

Mr Sunak will pledge small amounts of cash to help protect rainforests and boost green energy in African countries and to divert existing funding to help poorer countries adapt to the crisis.

The front page features an image and exclusive from climate activist Elizabeth Wathuti.
