COP26 – the United Nations Climate Change Conference of the Parties – was billed as: “It is the last best hope” to tackle the impact of climate change on the planet.

The ultimate aim is to ensure that nations meet the targets laid out in the Paris climate agreement; and ensure that global warming is kept under two degrees Celsius, compared with pre-industrial levels, preferably at close to 1.5 degrees Celsius.
