Johnson will asks the G7 colleagues members competingss extinctions.

The prime minister will call for more ambitious targets on biopersity alongside measures to tackle the climate crisis, and reinforce the UK’s bid to host the COP26 climate change summit, due to be held next year.

He will say “In a week where we have all watched, horrified, as the Amazon rainforest burns before our eyes, we cannot escape the reality of the damage we are inflicting on the natural world,” The Gurdian reported.

Johnson will also announce that the UK will set aside an extra £10m of aid money to fund anti-deforestation projects in Brazil.

Labour accused Johnson of a “PR stunt”. The shadow trade secretary, Barry Gardiner, said: “The truth is that £10m is an embarrassingly tiny contribution to Amazon. It represents a part of the sustained anti-environment campaign by a rightwing Brazilian government.

“Boris Johnson’s government has pointedly refused to ensure that UK companies are not aiding the Amazon destruction. They are not abetting the Amazon destruction by ruling out from any trade deal beef.

G7 leaders will discuss the crisis in the Amazon, alongside other environmental issues, on Monday.
