Climate Conversations 4: Gender Day from the Blue Room at COP26 - Morag Gamble talks with May East

 Welcome to this special  series of climate conversations  recorded during COP26 Climate Conference in Glasgow , November 2021.

In November, while the global climate conference (COP26) was taking place I recorded a series of conversations.  I did wish I could have been there to be part of this global connection of movements and activism happening around the meeting of world leaders who are putting their plans on the table to limit climate change to below 1.5.  Disappointingly, the Australian PM embarrassed himself with putting fossil fuels ahead of the planet. I decided it didn't make sense for me to fly there, but I still wanted to know what was going on, and share this with you, so each couple of days I checked in with friends who were there.

In this video, I am talking with May East live from the Blue Room at COP26 in Glasgow as Little Amal has entered - the giant puppet of a 10yo Syrian refugee girl who has walked 8000kms to reach the event visiting so many communities along the way, and the Pope.

It is Gender day at COP26 and May shares a little about the conversations that are taking place around this.

Unfortunately, her connection dropped out after 5 minutes
