King Charles III will attend the COP28 climate summit in Dubai next month, Buckingham Palace confirmed. The King — a longstanding advocate of bolder action to combat climate change — will deliver the opening address at the World Climate Action Summit, the gathering of global leaders which will open the two-week annual conference. It will be the first time he has attended a COP summit as King.
