So, lets come together over these two weeks and ensure that where paris promised, glasgow delivers. prince charles has added his voice to calls for more action to tackle climate change — telling leaders in rome they owe it to the next generation. cop26 begins in glasgow tomorrow — quite literally it is the last chance saloon. we must now translate fine words into still finer actions. and the british government says its "up to france" to solve the post—brexit fishing row with the uk — by ...
