Climate News by Dave Cohen
The world may be heating up but so are plans to persuade governments to act and stop the climate emergency when they meet in Glasgow for COP 26.
There's lots happening locally and nationally - but watch out for the big event at Finsbury Park on Sunday 31st October 1-4pm. And we've love for you to get involved. This is being organised by the Haringey Climate Forum to bring together a wide section of Haringey people to understand how the COP26 pledges are insufficient and send their views to the COP delegates – all in a positive atmosphere celebrating the positives of the countries of the world.
Do you know which countries are doing the most to combat climate change? The answers may surprise you - Somalia, Democratic Republic of Congo, Eritrea and India are at or near the top.
