Live from COP26
Ever since the Rio Earth Summit in 1992, the United Nations has convened leaders to discuss global environmental sustainability. At this moment, thousands have gathered in Glasgow, UK, for COP26 and the latest iteration of climate change negotiations. What is different this time around? How are the needs of forests and indigenous peoples represented? Will there be progress on structuring carbon markets under Article 6 of the Paris Climate Agreement? What impact will it all have on the Amazon?
