UK government accused of concealing report on climate and biodiversity emergencies

Summary

The UK government has been accused of attempting to conceal an explosive report on climate and biodiversity emergencies by rejecting a Freedom of Information request. The Cabinet Office refused to release documents showing discussions between officials about the timing of the publication of the Nature security assessment on global biodiversity loss, ecosystem collapse, and national security. The assessment was published in January, and critics claim the government is trying to cover up its embarrassment over the findings.
