As the world looks ahead to November’s Cop26 in Glasgow against the backdrop of a global pandemic, what will it take for the summit to be declared a success?
Jeremy Cliffe and Megan Gibson are joined by New Statesman environment and sustainability editor Philippa Nuttall – all in London – to discuss the conference, the need for a just transition that includes the Global South, and whether big players like Russia and China will engage with the process.
Then in You Ask Us, they answer a listener’s question about how Cop26 will take into account the other UN environmental summit, Cop15 on biodiversity.
