Heads of state and royalty are expected at the climate summit, which occupied a significant part of hotels in Sharm el-Sheikh and seriously raised prices at the resort. And also movie stars. According to local media, Leonardo DiCaprio, who attracted attention last year at a similar event in Glasgow, may be among the “climate leaders who may attend the summit”. Now he can do it again this year in Egypt’s Sharm El Sheikh.
As for the leaders of the states, US President Joseph Biden has confirmed his participation in the summit, and after the first refusal, the new British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak intends to come there as well. French President Emmanuel Macron, Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte, and German Chancellor Olaf Scholz are expected to play an “important role”. Turkish President Recep Erdogan is also expected at the congress. But the representatives of China, which was appointed as the main culprit of environmental pollution, officially refused to be present.
Among the “royal persons”, the British will be represented by Princess Beatrice, who is passionate about the issue of environmental protection. Other representatives of surviving European monarchies are also promised.
In a separate issue, the authors emphasized that one of the most notable absences will be the famous Greta Thunberg, a Swedish environmental activist who is known for calling on world leaders to take immediate action to mitigate the effects of climate change. She said she would not go to the summit for a number of reasons, including that “the space for civil society this year is extremely limited.”
