Why nature must be at the heart of our response to climate change
- our brilliant reception with great leaders at the end of 6 at #cop26
Masroora Haque retweeted
The #COP26 outcome is a compromise, reflecting the interests, contradictions & state of political will in the world today.
It's an important step, but it's not enough.
It's time to go into emergency mode.
The climate battle is the fight of our lives & that fight must be won.
Masroora Haque retweeted
Heading in to do battle on the extra day of @COP26 We cannot afford to give up, so will fight until the last minute! One thing I have learned from attending ALL the COPs so far, is to always buy my return journey TWO days after the official closing date! It never ends on time! – at Edinburgh, Scotland
