Soaring temperatures worldwide, flash flooding in central London and increasing numbers of wildfires.

These are just a few ecological disasters we are seeing as a result of climate change. It is painfully obvious we must act.  We need to be ambitious. It is only by working with every single nation across the globe that we can hope to take on this challenge.  Climate inaction is simply unacceptable. As president of COP 26, we should lead by example.  The UK can lead the world in climate policy. We are hosting the UN Climate Conference (COP 26) in November 2021. We must lead the world to do what is required: limit global warming to 1.5 degrees.
