Cop 26, the gathering of world leaders looking to combat climate change, takes place over the next two weeks. Here at intelligence squared, we'll be taking this as an opportunity to explore some of the debates big and small, surrounding the climate emergency. You can catch our sunday debate on the opening day this week end, which asks, is cop 26 a turning point for the planet?
With the devastating effects of the climate emergency becoming more urgent by the day, the COP26 summit in Glasgow now represents a pivotal moment in global cooperation on the issue. Can anything meaningful be achieved without collaboration from the big players such as China, the US and the EU? Economist Linda Yueh is joined by journalist and environment specialist Isabel Hilton of China Dialogue plus Bloomberg News climate and energy reporter Akshat Rathi to answer this and get a primer on the big debates ahead.
