                                Your guide to the top environmental stories

                              With the world’s climate in a state of 
emergency, and only a few days to go to the UN Climate Change Conference 
(COP26), in this month’s issue we bring you the latest climate science. Find 
out how you can follow the discussion and take action.







                              Climate action

                              Time is running out to slash emissions

                              Even if countries live up to their new pledges 
to curb greenhouse gas emissions, the world will still warm by 2.7°C this 
century, finds UNEP’s Emissions Gap Report 2021. Unless drastic action is 
taken now, the upper limit of the Paris Agreement is at risk of being 
exceeded and the Earth is left open to catastrophic climate change.

mid-2022 to take stock and look forward.
