Cop26 dream team: The people setting the climate agenda on seven key issues

(Climate Home News, 4 Feb 2021) The UK is deploying the full breadth of its diplomatic network to mobilise countries’ climate ambition and find landing zones on key issues ahead of critical climate talks this year.

“But it can’t do everything,” Nick Mabey, chief executive of think-tank E3G, tells Climate Home News.

The host nation of the Cop26 climate summit in Glasgow in November has a huge task to lead the world to greater climate action and close the gap between collective national targets and the Paris Agreement goals.

For that, the summit will have to deliver on the urgent needs of the most vulnerable nations while finalising robust rules to build a green and resilient global economy.

The UK will need to share out the heavy lifting and form alliances with people and nations able to shift the dial on specific issues, Mabey says.

From debt relief to designing robust carbon offsets and mobilising the finance needed to help countries cut emissions and cope with climate impacts, the world needs more climate champions. Here’s who is setting the agenda on seven key issues.
