the 620 leaders will go from here to glasgow to attend that conference, and arriving in glasgow today was the swedish environmental activist 6reta thunberg, who arrived and was promptly mobbed by journalists and supporters before that 6lasgow summit gets under way. and a warning from the un climate report earlier, just a couple of weeks ago, saying that on the current trajectory carbon emissions could increase by 16% by the year 2030, compared to the year 2010. that could lead to a global temperature rise of 2.7 degrees, way ahead of the 1.5 degrees cap that 6lasgow is trying to achieve. so lots to talk about for the second day of the 620 summit tomorrow, on sunday. and lots to talk at the glasgow summit ahead. and we will 6lasgow summit ahead. and we will have all the latest from rome as the talks go on. for now, i will hand you back to the studio in london. hundreds of church bells across the uk have rung out this evening, to call for urgent action on climate change, on the eve of cop26. over 20 cathedrals took part, including durham cathedral and st pauls in london. the environment

rebecca morelle, bbc news, glasgow. let's spell out what negotiators here in glasgow need — or at least hope — to achieve by the end of next week. more ambitious targets to cut emissions are vital. that means more action to limit global warming to a maximum of 1.5 degrees. reducing the use of coal is essential — it's the most polluting fossil fuel. but many countries are still very dependent on it. the effects of climate change are already clear so countries and communities need more help to adapt to the new reality. that help will mean money, but how much will richer countries give to those nations worst affected by the effects of climate change? bangladesh is among the hardest hit, so our science editor david shukman takes a look at the needs ofjust one village in the southern region. in a village on the coast of bangladesh, people are using mud to try to hold back the sea. it's all they've got. the rising level of the ocean means they are getting flooded more often. and we saw the same villagers struggling in t

so in glasgow, we need a strong declaration. they commit to net 0 missions by 2050, as well as big reductions by 2030. this has been a seismic event that has changed lives perhaps for a generation, but the forest will come back because nature always does. if humanity allows it to . well right now, the men here and god's go, not good. just this week we had that even with the latest global commitments to cut emissions. we're still heading for 2.7 degrees celsius. remember, the target is one and a half degrees, and the $100000000000.00 a year promised by rich nations to developing countries by 2020. well, that went arrive now until 2023. trust is a limited commodity here in glasgow and it will be a long, hard battle to reach the agreement. the world needs ma'am, is in glasgow forest and explained what is likely to happen in the coming days. much awaited conference on climate change cop 26 is underway in glasgow at least 25000 delegates from 109 to 6 countries are in utmost and they call it a consequential tiny point for your money

the 26 summit, as i say, is in glasgow. scotland. so the u. k. is the host and the g. 20 leaders were addressed by the case prince charles. listen, look up to the 6 begins in glasgow to morrow. quite literally. it is the last chance saloon. we must now translate fine words into still finer actions. and as the enormity of the climate gallant challenge dominates people's conversations from news rooms to living rooms. but as the future of humanity and nature herself are at stake. it is surely time to set aside our differences and grasp this unique opportunity to launch a substantial green recovery by putting the global economy on a confident, sustainable trajectory, and thus save our planet. one of the problems i think for the summit is that not all the leaders are here, some of not come citing cobra 19 the most significant rushes president vladimir putin and president. she of china and they are not going to gloves. go on that which i think presents a problem because you bang heads together when you're actually in the room with people. that was a me

and he's using all means before glasgow to raise it. including today, meeting the american president at the vatican. joe biden shares the pope's views on climate change, and it will be a focus of their discussions, the president and the pontiff eye to eye on the key issue of our times. the leader of the 1.3 billion catholics of course carries huge moral weight, and by meeting key leaders before glasgow and by spreading his message on air, pope francis will hope to coax those at the summit towards an agreement. the political, the spiritual, the ecological all coming together in these crucial few days. mark lowen, bbc news, rome. as we heard, the g20 leaders are meeting in rome this weekend — our diplomatic correspondent james landale is there, and, james, this is the first time so many leaders have met in person, face to face since the pandemic began. that's right. it is a huge, huge challenge for them because they've got a lot of things to deal with. as you've heard, climate change is top of the agenda, very much a stepping stone summ

what went a long way in glasgow. the fact that the chinese are not there on the, are the worst emitters and the fact that the russians are there. they are also the 2nd war, submitters. after the united states, especially when the question of coal and so so forth. so i don't think it was leaders have shown the silliest is needed to deal with climate change. is the same room with same to sort of a spirit that. busy has sort of falling short when they deal with a question of inequality. but as i said earlier, you could cheat the poor, but you cannot cheat. mother nature rama on you. talk about some of the notable nurses and the d. 20 presence. payton president. she isn't minister though envoys as did saudi arabia, presumably that changed the turn of discussions, especially when like having things like global tax, global corporate tax agreements and included and, and vaccines and in quality. what took into the global tax agreement. there's one positive thing that came out of the meeting and that's important. it's been in

cop26 begins in glasgow and it is quite literally the last chance saloon. diplomatic caravan moves from rome's street to scottish streets, boris johnson still has a lot of arm—twisting to do. hope may spring eternal, reality does not. just to prove to you that we are still keeping our eye onjoe biden and his much delayed press conference in rome, let mejust much delayed press conference in rome, let me just show you the podium at the stage where he is due to appear and podium at the stage where he is due to appearand of podium at the stage where he is due to appear and of course we will take you there as and when he does appear but i've got our next guest, really, who is the perfect guest. joining me is lisa friedman — new york times climate reporter, and a veteran of cop summits. while we're watching the stage, you can talk to us it little about what will be onjoe biden�*s mind but how many summits have you been to? this will be my turn- _ many summits have you been to? this will be my turn. do _ many summits have you been to? this will be my turn. d

new zealand has promised a new goal at or before glasgow. kelly o�*shanassy is the chief executive officer of the australian conservation foundation — a non partisan environmental organisation. we have happy that we have a net zero target, we have been trying to get this for decades, a lot of politics got in the way. so that a good thing. but there was not much else other than that announcement, there is no real plan, it is more of a pamphlet than a plan. there is no decent target for 2030 and we know what matters is to cut emissions this decade, because global warming is real, damage is here now, particularly in australia, where we are facing terrible droughts. we need to get serious this decade. and the prime minister has insisted that this plan will not harm the coal industry or the economy so here�*s what they are proposing. australia will invest 15 billion dollars in �*low—emissions technologies�* over the next twenty years. those will include carbon capture in soil, lower solar energy costs, and developing greener industrie

the _ in glasgow next week. does climate change cost? the reason _ in glasgow next week. does climate change cost? the reason i'm - in glasgow next week. does climate change cost? the reason i'm asking| change cost? the reason i'm asking this is arnold schwarzenegger was speaking recently to your podcast and he wasn't impressed and said those that say climate change, tackling climate change is going to hurt our economy, are stupid or liars. what is the truth there? tt is so common that we just hear people talking about the cost of decarbonising our energy systems, making these changes, and they completely ignore the huge impacts of climate change is already having and will continue to have come the more warming we get the more those impacts will hit us, more women have extreme heatwaves, flooding, droughts, all these things that we know will keep on increasing, which cost us money and lives. they cost us opportunities as well, so the inequality, it's really about making sure we understand that full balance of what it costs to act first and what it costs to not act but als

in september, you rated the chances of success in glasgow as six out of ten. what would you say now? i would say they are about the same. borisjohnson hopes he will make history, brokering an agreement to slow down the warming of the planet. it is the metaphor. either the cop26 succeeds or the dark ages, that's what i'm saying, or could be the dark ages. but he is trying to corral many dozens of countries. there is certainly no one emperor who can rule supreme. laura kuenssberg, bbc news, rome. let's get more now on cop26 — britain's prime minister boris johnson has called it "the world s moment of truth" in combatting climate change. 0ur political correspondent chris masonjoins me now. what chris masonjoins me now. more has he been sayir is what more has he been saying? this is his eve of — what more has he been saying? ti 3 is his eve of cop26 words really, very important moment diplomatically for the uk hosting this huge international conference, i20 world leaders expected in glasgow arriving tomorrow night, many flying straight from rome where the 620

welcome to glasgow! 50 around 1,000 people, including jack and kim, have opened their homes to delegates, and more are needed. i'd heard that poorer countries were getting priced out of coming — i was absolutely horrified that only the richer countries' voices would be heard in terms of politicians and lobby groups, so i felt it was really important that everybody was included. when glasgow people opened their door to us, we are very delighted to come also, voice our concern. some schools on the conference doorstep will have to close briefly. these pupils may never have expected world leaders to be driving past their classroom windows — and they've got a message they want to pass on. i kind of feel...like, kind of stressed and annoyed about it because it's just disrupting our lives. i would just rather that so many people wouldn't come — only the world leaders. they're not going to get here, like, being eco—friendly. - and also i feel like they're just going to talk about things - but not actuall

glasgow wants to show its best face to the world for this conference. it could well be the biggest gathering of world leaders in british history. christiana figueres will be there. she's environmental royalty, having played a crucial role in previous climate summits. she says it is vital that governments are involved in the review process. everybody�*s voice has to be there. that's the whole purpose. this is not a single thread, this is a tapestry woven by many, many threads. but there is no time to waste. every second, more carbon dioxide is building up in the atmosphere. what the world needs now is ambition. justin rowlatt, bbc news. well as we heard in that report, argentina is among the countries calling for changes to the report — for more on this i'm joined by enrique maurtua konstantinidis, a senior climate policy advisor at the environment and natural resources foundation of argentina. great to have you on the programme. i want to start by asking you how surprised where you by the level of lobbying that we have seen in these documents that,

that translates to glasgow. what actions are they actually promised, and what will those actions mean in terms of the environment, the metrics and all this a very difficult. what we're going to have is each country putting forward, it's nationally determined contributions. what it's going to do to try to protect the planet, to try and reduce its emissions, but then it's up to scientists and scientific models to work out. well, that actually is going to me in global warming, and what i think is likely in the next 2 weeks as we head through the gloves go summit, is you going to have disagreements between world leaders who say the action is great. it is a great step forward, and many campaigners who say it really isn't enough. while climate change was the main focus of the g 20 summit, other significant talks took place on the sidelines. us president joe biden met turkish president rachel type early on, and they agreed to improve their strained relations. they spoke about the differences around the anchorage acquis

listen, look up to 6 begins in glasgow to morrow. quite literally. it is the last chance saloon we must now translate fine words into still finer actions. and as the enormity of the climate, jalap challenge dominates people's conversations from news rooms to living rooms. but as the future of humanity and nature herself are at stake. it is surely time to set aside our differences and grasp this unique opportunity to launch a substantial green recovery by putting the global economy on a confident, sustainable trajectory, and thus saber planet. while our environment editor nick clark is in glasgow for this and he gives us more contacts now on why cop 26 is important to say there's a lot at stake here in glasgow. busy is an understatement, the science tells us what needs to be done, and we'll see in the holes behind me over the next 2 weeks. if national leaderships have what it takes to step up, the world is overheating, and extreme weather is already hitting hot. and to demonstrate the importance of this conference, we return to every in greece scene o
