Gen Z activists fuel Climate Express to Glasgow

Visitors stand outside on the first day of the COP26 UN Climate Change Conference at the Scottish Event Campus (SEC) in Glasgow, Scotland, on Oct 31. COP26, running until Nov 12, will be the biggest climate conference since the 2015 Paris summit and is seen as crucial in setting worldwide emission targets to slow global warming, as well as firming up other key commitments.
