World Scientists Warning of Climate Emergency and COP26 Action

Professor William Moomaw, co-author of the World Scientists' Warning of a Climate Emergency will deep dive into why this article, signed by over 11,000 scientists when it was published, is so crucial in driving science led action on the Climate Emergency. He will discuss the six identified stressors in the warning - Nature, Food, Population, Energy, Short Lived Pollutants and Economy - and how specific actions related to these stressors must be taken now and not put off again. He will explain how his personal involvement in this seminal article came about. Finally Professor Moomaw will look at the year ahead and place the six stressors into the context of required action now, on the way to and at COP26.

Professor Moomaw will be joined by Ed Gemmell, Managing Director of Scientists Warning Europe who will look back over the week of talks in the Planet in Crisis series and identify the most important take homes while also looking forward to the COP26.
