ENVIRONMENTAL groups have called for the postponement of the crucial United Nations climate summit due to be held in Glasgow in November amid fears that people from poorer countries will be excluded.
The Cop26 talks, aiming to make countries deliver the cuts in greenhouse-gas emissions needed to curb devastating climate change, have already been put back from last year due to the coronavirus pandemic.
Although the British government claims that its provision of vaccine and quarantine support means the conference should go ahead, the Climate Action Network is calling for a further deferral.
