COP26: How to get involved

DESPITE having one of the most ambitious climate targets in the world, the UK has low public interest around events such as COP26. This is shocking and shameful, and there’s absolutely no reason not to get involved. While the COP26 summit is going on, keep up to date every day on TV, radio and online.

In the run up to COP26, throughout the conference and afterwards, we can all do our bit to effect change by keeping the pressure on the decision-makers.

Sign up to one of the many fantastic earth charities that work hard to amplify your voice to government such as: l wwf.org l friendsoftheearth.uk l Surfers Against Sewage, sas.org.uk l firedrillfridays.com

You can also learn more by reading books such as How to Save Our Planet, by Professor Mark Maslin, or No Planet B, by Professor Mike Berners-Lee.

And there’s still time to get up to speed with a carbon literacy course and learn everything you need to know about the climate and nature crisis at carbonliteracy.com.
