What the world makes of COP26
This month World Questions comes from Glasgow to debate the outcome of COP26.
Climate catastrophe threatens our planet with devastating consequences. It is in that knowledge that delegates from 197 countries came to Glasgow for the UN’s Climate Conference, COP26. Has their agreement left the world on a safer path, or is it an opportunity missed? From coal emissions to deforestation, money for developing economies and clean cars, the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ’s Science Editor David Shukman chairs a debate which covers the big issues with questions coming from all over the world.
The panel includes Zainab Waheed, 16-year-old climate activist and Pakistan’s delegate to Youth4Climate; Philip Dunne MP, chair of the UK Parliament's Environmental Audit Committee; Senator Loren Legarda, deputy speaker of the Philippines House of Representatives; and Dr Tara Shine, climate adviser and director of Change By Degrees.
Producer: Charlie Taylor
Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ World Questions is a series of international events created in partnership with the British Council.
