The global collaboration to combat climate change continues too slowly to effectively respond to the ongoing emergency: Cop26 could be a turning point - or yet another wasted opportunity.
The questions that need to be answered are becoming increasingly urgent. How is "climate geopolitics" changing? What can we expect from the Glasgow conference? What are the implications for our economy? And what personal actions can each of us take?
