Obama arrives at COP26

Former US president Barack Obama has yesterday evening arrived at the UN COP26 climate summit in Glasgow.

He tweeted regarding his plans for the conference earlier last week, writing: “Five years ago, the Paris Agreement went into effect. Paris provided an important framework in the fight against climate change, but it wasn’t enough.

“That’s why I’ll be speaking in Glasgow on Monday about the road ahead and what young people in particular can do to help.”
