Coming to COP26?

This November world leaders are meeting in Glasgow to talk about the climate emergency.

We will be there to make sure they know it’s an emergency and that we need them to talk the strongest action possible to tackle the problem.

If you’re planning to join us, here’s some useful information. If we’ve missed something you think should be in this blog, let us know.
