LONDON- Britain wants a “heavy hitter” to run the COP26 climate conference in Glasgow, according to Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s political spokesman on Wednesday.
Previous summit head Clare O’Neill last week was sacked by British PM Boris Johnson. O’Neill showed a lack of leadership and engagement over the summit.
The spokesman said O’Neill’s replacement should be someone who could “handle themselves on the world stage”. The replacement will have a ministerial role in the government, and is expected to be named as part of a reshuffle due in the coming weeks.
