LONDON (Reuters) - Britain has tasked naturalist David Attenborough with inspiring action to tackle the issue of climate change as its People’s Advocate ahead of the United Nations’ Climate Change Conference (COP26) in November in Glasgow, Scotland.
COP26 could accelerate measures by the world s biggest polluters to tackle climate change, which activists, scientists and world leaders say could ultimately endanger the planet.
Britain holds the presidency of the conference this year.
Attenborough, 95, the world s most influential wildlife broadcaster, will exhort leaders at events over the next six months to put climate and the protection of nature at the top of their agenda, including at the Group of Seven summit in Cornwall, southwest England, in June, the UK government said on Monday.
