Likenesses of British Prime Minister Boris Johnson along with his fellow leaders of the G7 were seen out and about on the streets of St Ives, without clothing on the bottom half on Sunday (June 13), highlighting what activists say is an "all mouth, no trousers" approach to climate change.
G7 leaders are expected to use the meetings in Cornwall to increase their climate finance contributions to meet an overdue spending pledge of $100 billion a year to help poorer countries cut carbon emissions and cope with global warming.
The Group of Seven leaders would jeopardise the chance of success at a landmark global climate change summit later this year if they fail to honour the aid promise, development campaigners said.
