Climate change is the biggest and most urgent challenge of our time. During a live forum hosted on Monday by the British Embassy in Riyadh, experts from the private and public sectors and civil society discussed the challenge, strategies and actions that need to be taken, with a particular focus on plastic consumption and waste.
The virtual roundtable, “Reusing and recycling: The effects of plastic in nature. Ahead of COP26, can we encourage a fundamental change in attitudes?” was held as part of the British Embassy’s #TogetherForOurPlanet campaign.
The campaign is building awareness about climate change and the urgent need for action in the run-up to COP26 (the UN’s 26th session of the Conference of the Parties to the Convention), which will bring together world leaders, delegates, climate experts and negotiators to agree on coordinated action to tackle climate change.
