Four key numbers that set the stage for climate change negotiations at COP26
This week has seen a series of hard-hitting reports on climate change, timed for the days before the COP26 summit starts in Glasgow.
But it also gets to something bigger - COP26's guest list could affect its chances of success. If the diplomatic heavyweights don't show up, the agreements risk being less powerful. They don't have the clout to make the big decisions, but they are the soul of COPs. They bring the lived experience of climate change to the conference - decisions made here are critical to their lives and their words carry that weight.
There is a lot to play for. We've seen some significant progress on promises to reach net zero by 2050 - that would be when we stop adding more greenhouse gases to the atmosphere than we can take out of it. This is a record high, and it is a problem because CO2 is the most significant of the warming gases pushing up global temperatures.
