45. COP26- a greenwashing strategy or a time for change?

COP26 has been a huge event at the centre of the world's attention and proudly hosted in Glasgow. It has brought together thousands of global leaders, change makers, activists and volunteers- however has this been another excuse for greenwashing or has it allowed for meaningful change to take place? In this episode we talk all things climate change, COP26, what it means for Glasgow and for humanity as a whole. What do we deem to be a successful conference and what objectives do we aim to achieve? We briefly touch on the climate agenda during COP26 and what agreements have been made in the final negotiations. We discuss Monica's involvement with schools during COP and what she planned ahead of the conference. Education is a core part of moving forward and making sure that we as a collective are well informed of the issues that affect our society and planet, this is why having a positive influence on the younger generations is crucial. By changing our actions we can change the behaviours of others, how we decide to live will impact those around us.  So, is climate change an issue we can tackle at a personal level or can it only be tackled at a governmental level?
