The COP26 Series, Ep. 1: Climate law, the Paris Agreement, what is COP26 and why is it so important?

Welcome back to Eco-Activist Journeys. I’m finally back with a new episode and it’s the start of a new chapter in my eco activist journey. A month ago I started my masters in Global Environment and Climate Change Law at the University of Edinburgh. Furthermore, at the end of October the international UN talks on climate change are taking place in Glasgow. Thus, I am starting my podcast journey again with a series on the Conference of the Parties (COP)! In this episode I introduce what COP26 is and also dive into some new things I learned about the Paris Agreement, international law, and also discuss key topics that leaders need to discuss at the Conference of the Parties (COP) in Glasgow including market-mechanisms for climate finance, loss and damage, agriculture, and nature-based solutions. Hope you enjoy this episode, thanks for tuning in and please follow and support this podcast! All best wishes, Léa
