The Science Weekly podcast is in Glasgow, where we are bringing listeners daily episodes from Cop26. Each morning you will hear from one of the Guardian’s award-winning environment team. Today, Science Weekly host Madeleine Finlay and Guardian reporter Nina Lakhani attend the People’s Summit, which brings together movements from across the world to build solutions for climate change
In the run-up to Cop26, the UK government had boasted that Glasgow would be the most inclusive summit on record. In reality, about two-thirds of civil society organisations that usually send delegates to Cop have not travelled to Glasgow due to “vaccine apartheid”, changing travel rules, extortionate travel costs and Britain’s hostile immigration system. Global Witness revealed that there are more delegates at Cop26 associated with the fossil fuel industry – 503 – than from any single country.
Today, Guardian reporter Nina Lakhani and Science Weekly host Madeleine Finlay attend the People’s Summit, which over four days is bringing together movements from across the world to fight for climate justice.
