The 26th UN climate conference, or COP, opened with a World Leaders Summit on Monday, and a characteristically blunt speech from UN chief António Guterres. It’s the start of a mammoth two-week event, which some are calling the last best chance to save the planet.

Conor Lennon and Laura Quinones are on the ground throughout the conference, to give you a flavour of what it’s like to be in Glasgow, and to speak to some of those involved, from climate change activists, to artists, UN leaders and more.
