While COP26 negotiators wrestle with a long list of knotty issues, their difficulties have been overshadowed by the box office power of former US President Barack Obama.
In a powerful address, Obama criticised the absence of the leaders of China and Russia as showing a “dangerous lack of urgency” on the issue of climate change.
He outlined the scale of the challenge ahead, saying the world was “nowhere near where it needs to be,” and he scolded countries who had made pledges in Paris but failed to carry them out.
The bulk of his remarks were dedicated to young people, to motivating them to channel their anger and frustration with the lack of progress into action.
