As COP26 finally kicks off in Glasgow hosts for this special series Amanda and Chris begin to get a sense of how far we’ve come and how far we have yet to go to sort out climate change once and for all. WWF’s Stephen Cornelius highlights the importance of connections and collaborations at all levels whilst, fresh from an epic 500 mile walk from London to Glasgow, Ric Casales from Carbon Copy talks about the many positive examples of practical actions to address this pressing issue he is witnessing. COP is off to a good start – best foot forward for the rest of the discussions.
