(ANSA) - LONDON, OCTOBER 16 - Barack Obama will be present alongside the current American president and his former deputy, JoeBiden, at the crucial international climate conference CoP26 scheduled for October 31 in Glasgow on the initiative of the UN, under the presidency of the government of Boris Johnson and in partnership with the Italian one.
The news was confirmed by a spokesman for the Democratic ex-tenant of the White House cited among others by the BBC today. The spokesman stressed that Obama wants to support Biden and all the leaders involved in the first row on the consolidation of commitments on the reduction of global harmful emissions that contribute to climate change. On the occasion, the former president "will underline the importance of progress on the implementation of the objectives set by the Paris Agreement" at the time of his leadership; but also the urgency of "robust coordinated action by governments, the private sector, philanthropists and society civilian "to go further on the path of battle against the threat of global overheating.
Moreover, the risk of the forfeit of various non-Western leaders hangs on the Glasgow summit, in particular those of all the major emerging economies, none of which has so far confirmed their participation.
First of all, the Chinese president, Xin Jinping, whose country is considered a decisive factor in this dossier, but whose absence is almost certain by the British media.
Just yesterday, a video emerged in which Queen Elizabeth, 95, in the meantime defined "irritating" - in a conversation in private theory - the potential forfeit of several heads of state at CoP26 in Scotland, pointing her finger at those leaders who "speak but do not ".
The real family will for its part be present at the highest level at the Glasgow conference.
