BGS ECO BULLETIN
Welcome to the First BGS Climate Bulletin!
In this bulletin we aim to keep you up to date with BGS Eco Club news as well as important global events.
This Week COP 26 has been held in Glasgow. It is a global climate summit where world leaders are meeting to discuss the Climate Emergency
Today the fifth day of the conference is dedicated to youth and public empowerment.
YOUNGO (The Youth Constituency of the UNFCCC) will present a global youth statement , laying out their climate actions and what they want to see from global leaders.
However, Greta Thunberg has denounced the COP26 summit for being the ‘most excluding COP ever’ and called the international conference a ‘greenwash festival’.
