About this event
Wednesday 10 March 2021
16:00 - 17:30
Description
COP26 in November will see around 200 world leaders meet to agree a new, long term deal on rising temperatures. John Kerry, Climate Envoy to the US, has described it as "the last best chance the world has to avoid climate crisis". But what is COP26? Why is it happening? And how can we play our part?
This event will be hosted by local Climate Leaders, from The Climate Reality Project, a network of over 31,000 Climate Reality Leader activists mobilizing communities in 170 countries. The Earth is facing a climate crisis, driven by fossil fuels. At Climate Reality, we’re here to make urgent action a necessity. In politics. In business. In every aspect of our lives. Everywhere.
All around the world, people are seeing the reality of climate change and speaking up with one voice and one message for their leaders: Now is the time for you to act. In 2021, when the UK is hosting one of the most significant events in the climate movement, COP26, it is the time to act.
Join us as we explore the urgency of the climate crisis and the significance of COP26 before working out how we can act as Leaders in the pathway to COP26 and beyond.
