COP26: Climate groups want 'binding action' - not more empty promises
The conference is being described as 'the last chance to save our planet'
COP26 has seen tens of thousands of people from nearly every country arrive in Glasgow for what's being described as 'the last chance to save our planet'.
It will bring parties together to accelerate action towards the goals of the Paris Agreement and the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change.
The website for the conference reads:
"The UK is committed to working with all countries and joining forces with civil society, companies and people on the frontline of climate change to inspire climate action ahead of COP26."
In last weeks budget, just days before COP26, the chancellor, Rishi Sunak, announced tax on domestic flights is being cut, meaning it will be cheaper to fly from one place in England to another.
Ian Coatman is from the Group for Action Leeds Bradford Airport, he said:
"Now contrast that to France, where they are actually banning short flights, so we should be putting the money into reducing rail fair, not encouraging people to fly between Leeds and Plymouth."
He tells us he feels the government don't listen to people:
"Instead they listen to the industry that got us into this mess in the first place, who have little intention of changing their business modules unless they are forced too.
"I'm afraid COP26 will probably be yet another example of words, targets, yet with no binding action.
"I think governments will not listen, until enough of us tell them to change, until they have no choice but to respond, if they want to remain in power.
"We need to make politicians understand that survival of life on this Earth, is more important than the profit of the industries, that got us into this mess in the first place."
