World leaders wrangled over climate policy at COP26, the United Nations Climate Change Conference.
Scientists, health leaders, and politicians described it as our last, best chance to slow global warming and stave off some of the worst health effects of climate change. But the political environment remains fraught. And it’s unclear how the speeches and pledges in Glasgow will translate into action.

Presented jointly with The Weather Channel and Pattrn
