King Charles will not attend the 2024 United Nations Climate Change Conference in Baku next month as the government has reportedly not elected him to represent Britain while he continues his cancer recovery, Sky News reports.

The King is a committed climate change activist and has been widely praised by leaders for advocating for better conversation on the topic.

Organizers of COP29 anticipated England’s monarch, who attended the event last year, would continue his long history of heralding environmental activism at the summit.

Sources have now revealed British government officials did not ask Charles to represent the United Kingdom at the November climate change event in Azerbaijan’s capital.

“The King will not be going to COP,” they told the UK’s Mirror.

It is understood Britain’s ministerial office called for the King to exercise “an abundance of caution” before travelling to Australia next week for a royal tour with Queen Camilla amid his cancer treatment.

In Dubai last December, the King gave a rousing call to arms in the opening statement of COP28. Charles warned the world remained “dreadfully far off track” in key climate targets from the Paris Agreement in 2015 and called for meaningful change. By Siranush Ghazanchyan, Public Radio of Armenia
