00:00:03,480 --> 00:00:05,790
Ever since climate
change rose to be an issue of

2
00:00:05,790 --> 00:00:09,690
global concern, negotiators have
met annually trying to figure

3
00:00:09,690 --> 00:00:13,530
out the best way to tackle the
issue. This year's meeting is

4
00:00:13,530 --> 00:00:18,030
called COP 26. And it's bound to
be a landmark one. Negotiators

5
00:00:18,030 --> 00:00:20,490
are gathering in Glasgow,
Scotland, with the goal of

6
00:00:20,490 --> 00:00:24,510
keeping temperature rise to 1.5
degrees celsius. That's an

7
00:00:24,510 --> 00:00:28,320
important target. Scientists say
that after 1.5 degrees of

8
00:00:28,320 --> 00:00:30,990
warming, we're likely to
experience some of the worst

9
00:00:30,990 --> 00:00:34,080
impacts of climate change, as
well as the potential for

10
00:00:34,110 --> 00:00:37,680
irreversible tipping points that
would alter life on the planet

11
00:00:37,680 --> 00:00:42,390
as we know it. And so countries,
activists, business leaders, are

12
00:00:42,390 --> 00:00:45,870
all gathering in Glasgow to
discuss how we get this done.

13
00:00:46,290 --> 00:00:49,770
How do we phase out coal? How do
we deploy renewables? How do we

14
00:00:49,770 --> 00:00:53,460
protect nature, which in turn
protects the climate? The stakes

15
00:00:53,490 --> 00:00:57,090
are incredibly high, not just
for the planet, but for everyone

16
00:00:57,090 --> 00:00:57,780
who lives on it.
