COP26: What do young people want?

We hear from young people around the world about what they want from COP26

As world leaders and activists are getting ready to gather in Scotland for the COP26 Summit, we are bringing our audiences together to link up young people across the world and the UK to hear their messages about the planet. We will host conversations with people sharing their experiences of extreme weather events and discussing ‘net zero’ targets in three cities --Leeds, Stockholm and Johannesburg.

We'll also hear from activists who are attending COP26 and organising protests ahead and during the conference. And we’ll speak to a reporter in Glasgow about how the city prepares to welcome 30,000 people.

Throughout the programme, our Science Editor David Shukman and other experts will be answering audience questions about COP26 and climate change.
