COP26 | G20

Loading player...
With over 9 million online mentions of COP26 - that’s the UN Climate Change Conference taking place in Glasgow from 31 October to 12 November - already in circulation, you’d be forgiven for feeling a little lost in the hype.

We’ve cut through the hype to the real issues so far in this series with Minister Creecy about what the overall focus is for the South African government heading into this so called super COP.
We’ve debated the race to net zero and whether the science is congruent with the promises and greenwashing, and the looming climate finance fight.
And how this is shaping responsible investing.

Now with just a few days to go before the 26th Conference of the Parties kicks off we are previewing the all important Group of Twenty (G20) Leaders' Summit 2021, which will convene on Saturday and Sunday in Rome Italy.
For 2021, the G20, under the Italian Presidency, will focus on three broad, interconnected pillars of action: People, Planet, Prosperity.

Michael Avery is joined by Olivia Rumble director of Climate Legal; Saliem Fakir Director of the African Climate Foundation & Chris Mitman, Head of Export Finance at Investec Bank
