COP26 is happening but all is not well
This week sees the beginning of COP26 in Glasgow: a conference of world leaders, environmentalists and scientists seeking to forge a global response to tackle climate change. The conference has already seen attention by way of protests by groups like Insulate Britain, Ocean Rebellion and UK Student Climate Network , with some environmental campaigners calling for the conference to be cancelled altogether.
Unfortunately in the run up to what should be a seminal and collective affair, recent leaks have revealed some nations’ efforts to play down the need to move away from fossil fuels in an attempt to delay and lessen the urgency of moving to greener alternatives. The UK government themselves have rolled out a Net Zero strategy which only 41% of companies are set to achieve by 2050. At this stage, we can only hope that bolder and more stringent policies are conceived, permitting unwilling nations less wiggle room to deny and delay the inevitable.

Collaborative Efforts
Our collective impact on our environment can not be underestimated, and beyond the realms of COP26, we work everyday to reduce our impact whilst we grow as much as possible. We are also always championing others to do the same. Therefore, we would love to hear about what you are doing to improve your impact, whether you’re an individual or a company. The future is collaborative and collective, and the same applies to how we all approach sustainability and the ubiquitous issue we face in climate change.
