The Prime Minister has been accused of a “dereliction of duty” after revealing that climate change has been excluded from her top priorities at this weekend’s G20 summit.
But a senior UK Government official revealed the British G20 delegation’s four objectives would not include the issue.

“Of course no one would argue that climate change should be the only topic at the G20 – and the Government's other priorities are clearly extremely important.
But for the greatest threat we face to be relegated from the top four priorities is a dereliction of duty from this Government.”.
Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn told The Independent: "Climate change can only be effectively tackled with international cooperation. »
