LONDON (Reuters) - Britain is working hard to make sure it will host an in-person COP26 summit and does not believe there is any appetite for another postponement of the United Nations' Climate Change Conference, Britain's COP26 president said on Wednesday.

"COP26 has already been postponed by one year and the urgency of the climate crisis has not abated," Alok Sharma told parliament.
