THE 26th UN Climate Change Conference (Cop26) has ended in Glasgow. Every year (with the exception of the Covid-stricken 2020) the 200 countries who are party to the United Nations Framework Convention established at the first Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro in 1992 come together to talk about the climate emergency.
