The UK is set to host the United Nations Climate Change Conference next month. The talks will bring together thousands of delegates, including heads of state, climate experts and campaigners, to agree coordinated action to tackle climate change. But is Britain – and the rest of the world – ready to make the changes a green agenda could require? As we recover from the pandemic, is the UK’s goal of net zero carbon emissions by 2050 realistic? Can nuclear power help fill the gap left by fossil fuels? And how can we encourage consumers to make sustainable choices?

Join us for a range of panel events featuring Spectator journalists, politicians and industry experts as our summit sets the agenda ahead of COP26.
