fires, flooding, heatwaves, droughts, tornadoes, devastating weather events and we are seeing more of them across the world. why?, simply, our planet is getting hotter, and that is down to us. that�*s right. the world is an estimated 1.1 celsius warmer than before we started burning fossil fuels. burning fossilfuels releases greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide, c02, into ouratmosphere which one is our planet. this is not new information, but scientists warn if we have any chance of slowing the most dangerous effects of global warming, like extreme weather events and rising sea levels, we need to take action now. that is why the eyes of the world will be focused here in glasgow the cop 26. so what is cop 26, and — here in glasgow the cop 26. so what is cop 26, and why _ here in glasgow the

the high duo behind me in a month�*s time, but the world of sport will also be represented. the fair, work football�*s world governing body, here to talk about previous climate change promises and perhaps to sign up to some new ones. this is notjust about show, to sign up to some new ones. this is not just about show, because sport has a trickier relationship with climate change then you might

brand—new super stadium is on the desert does not exactly scream sustainability. but organisers are adamant that the carbon generated will be offset in other areas. and thatis will be offset in other areas. and that is what others sports are sane too. yes, there is an issue, but we are on it. now, what the experts have been telling me over the past couple of weeks is, yes, sport can do more, but what they are really looking for from a sector that has a carbon footprint perhaps the size of poland or spain is to use its popularity to raise awareness. we�*ve seen lebronjames, for example, seen lebron james, for example, getting seen lebronjames, for example, getting involved in the black lives matter movement. we�*ve seen marcus rashford raising awareness around food property. there is awareness that sport can cut through deeper and wider than politics. there is also a feeling that with regards to sport something that can unite the world can also help fix it. really interesting. chris mclauchlan, many thanks. let me introduce the first of our guest this evening. welcome. let mejust pick of our guest this evening. welcome. let me just pick up on what he was talking about

and more and more people are connecting that was what we actually do to tackle climate change. but we are clearly not doing enough so there is a big step to take in terms of seeing the changing

government policy does? i think| government policy typically does follow public opinion. it can lead it but i think your right to say that. people are aware of the changes in the climate but less aware of the changes they can make to tackle it, and connecting those two things together is the secret sauce here. it cannot bejust two things together is the secret sauce here. it cannot be just about governments and world leaders coming to glasgow making plans on setting targets, it is also the real—life targets, it is also the real—life targets that will drive and the change to meet the targets. the ian . ua . e change to meet the targets. the language around climate change can be quite fatalistic and defeatist, do you think that is helpful and galvanises people, or does it turn

change, and you can see them all around us, and you can see countries experiencing climate change much more extreme way that we are here in scotland to the uk. but i think you need to embrace it positively and the changes you can make to tackle climate change. there is lots that we can do. yes, it does rest on world leaders in government setting policies that will help with this journey, setting policies that will help with thisjourney, but it setting policies that will help with this journey, but it also rests on a willingness to change lifestyles and behaviours. notjust for the climate, but also for things like our health and the environment around us in the air that we breathe. so there are lots of good reasons to start focusing on this properly now. reasons to start

record. i it is one of the hottest on record. it is been one of the driest summers on record and so the link between weather and climate can be a tricky one to get your head around, but essentially weather varies do today and to month and year and year to year, they discovered climate change is much slower, steadier than according to scientists increasingly worrying. here, we can see each year globally since 1850 as a coloured stripe in the blue stripe showing years that were below average temperature wise. the redder years that have been above average. bbc research is find the number of extremely hot days each year around the world when the temperature reaches 50 c has doubled. since the 19805. if reaches 50 c has doubled. since the 1980s. if we hone in on the data for scotland, there�*s a bit of variation year on year but look at this red box and since 2,000 you can see unmistakable warning trends. if you do not reduce emissions to 1.5, do not reduce emissions to 1.5 , what happens? the warning for climate science is pretty stark. by the middle of the century, the arctic could be ice free in sea levels will have risen by more than a metre. look at what is happened to the arctic ice over the last four decades, if we take a closer look at some of the flooding areas for scotland, in the east, it is around the firth of fourth, that is according to one projection, climate central. towards edinburgh, the area is a two for flooding and sea levels rise here and heading west, some districts around the river clyde, you can see them badly hit as well. north and south, cure, large swathes of the coastline are inundated with the greatest climate challenge for scotland will be flooding from extreme weather events. which would become more frequent. with the system if by the temperature will be more powerful and because warmer air with more moisture in the real behaviour in winters will be monitored and wetter. broadly speaking, that is. your member the beast from the east, that thread has not gone away. instances of extreme cold will be more severe, meaning more snowfall in shorter periods of time. summers would be warmer and dryer, but sunshine and high temperatures will bake the land and the driest soil will be unable to take in water quickly enough and extreme rain can cause flash flooding. i have been talking rain but one area that is all too familiar with flooding. mild northwest colour of scotland but it it�*s whether that is becoming increasingly unpredictable. last year, a wildfire risk forfour increasingly unpredictable. last year, a wildfire risk for four days — raged by unceasingly try and warm conditions. flash flooding has become increasingly common too. and at this venue, it is something you know all too well. in 2015, snowmelt and prolonged rain caused the nearby burst of expense stability built up behind the wall and it pushed all the water into the far corner over there where the only place he could go was there.

interesting city. cultural heritage and festivals. we�*ve got incredible businesses and universities and students and so, what is this all going to mean in the future and we are faced with more flooding events or heatwaves? it is about having those conversations at this point and trying to build those relationships to come up with ideas to how we can work together going forward. 50 to how we

two facts that blew my mind and one of them being that it�*s the second most used material on earth behind water only. and it would be the worlds third largest emitter and c02. we know that it�*s everywhere but we also have to build houses, we also have housing shortages but how would you swear all of that was trying to tackle climate change. it�*s all of that was trying to tackle climate

and previously, we might have built a concrete defence system but also to think about what is the carbon footprint of doing that. are there better ways? and better ways might better ways? and better ways might be working with nature. so, working with the environment to find solutions where we can try and improve our flood risk management but also biodiversity and wellbeing of people and try to

are saying i to go. recent reports are saying that the risks that we face now and are going to face into the future are going to face into the future are going to face into the future are going to get worse and the adaptation of the moment is not keeping pace with that. on the positive side, there has not been a moment like this for climate change. there are so many people are having conversations about climate change on the pub in cafes and certainly as someone who works in climate change science, we staff to argue climate change was the thing and now we�*re being asked to help with finding options for solutions and going forward. so, it is very different to fall into the trap of being negative and worried but actually we�*ve got a lot of tours at her fingertips and it�*s reallyjust about getting it out there and being positive and working together and trying to use things like this to get the resources that we need in order to implement those. you resources that we need in order

have an army of people who are spilling up in terms of their knowledge on climate change and green environmental issues. so, i think the future is very bright, wejust need to i think the future is

huge surprise that the countries with the biggest populations come out top. that is china, the us and india. fossil fuels, that is china, the us and india. fossilfuels, oiland that is china, the us and india. fossilfuels, oil and gas and coil remain big energy sources. energy is a huge one, how we keep our lights on and heat our offices and also how we travel. agriculture also has a big impact, with farming, reproduction and deforested nation and how we manage our land all playing their part. chemicals used in industry have a significant impact to and waste, something we can all relate to. that is notjust what ends up in landfill, but also the waste of c02 that is used in food production for food that sometimes get chucked stout. 0f sometimes get chucked stout. of course, we are one part of that big picture, and innovators have it huge role in driving changes in emissions. as i have been finding out. ba na na banana bread, did you make one in lockdown? many of us did with time and a glut of overripe bananas on our hands. but we probably didn�*t think too closely about how the ingredients got to our kitchen so the environmental impacts they had. calculating the carbon footprint of food is complex because you need to take into account factors like land use, water, energy, fertiliser and transportation. this vertical farm in dundee is doing things differently. stacks of vegetables, edible flowers and even trees are growing in tall towers, each with their own carefully controlled microclimate. brute their own carefully controlled microclimate.— their own carefully

that will hugely reduce waste. we like to use brownfield, old industrial sites, like to use brownfield, old industrialsites, but like to use brownfield, old industrial sites, but we can put it really close to the point of consumption or production which means we collapse the food miles. very little of our food travels by air, but we do. well, up until recently. the pandemic mentor once busy airports became ghost towns. but as this made us consider our choices longer term? say rather than sitting in this parisien cafe in glasgow i actually want to travel to paris. if only it was that easy. but this website that i am looking at allows me to check out the carbon dioxide emissions depending on how i choose to get to paris, so for example travelling by railroad produces nearly 48 kilograms of c02 per passenger, but by air it is almost three times as much. aviation is looking at how it can change. we are is looking at how it can change. - are going to be developing a hydrogen

streptomyces legs and come here to this archipelago of the north—east coast of scotland. this is scapa flow which for a while now has been a test bed for a boundless source of renewable energy. the

balance that supply. because you have to have a supply. because you have to have a supply of energy meeting the demands of the grid. the supply of energy meeting the demands of the rid. , ., _, ., ,

called wellow and that is relies on the wall of the waves so it sits on the wall of the waves so it sits on the ways and literally wobbles back and forward. the way that works is can you imagine

the ways and turns it into electricity. there is another device been tested there which sits on the sea bed and this kind of like a giant laptop, is shaped like this, and is the waves come and go it moves like this. again, that is quite an interesting design. what i think is quite interesting about motion is that the scottish government has put £3 million into this project, and that, as i say in the film there, is intended to power offshore oil and gas rigs at sea which are accounting for 3% of the uk�*s total carbon emissions. bill for 396 of the uk's total carbon emissions-— emissions. all

that on the programme you�*ve got on bbc, click, and the bbc news channel. well worth a watch there. these pockets of innovation, these have been happening all over these have been happening all over

when we look at renewable energy solutions, i think we are all pretty familiar with wind and solar so everyone has wind and solar farms, but things like wave energy converters, people may not be that familiar with. and the thing is, with wave energy devices, they can work at times where you don�*t have wind or solar, and work at times where you don�*t have wind orsolar, and in work at times where you don�*t have wind or solar, and in the uk, work at times where you don�*t have wind orsolar, and in the uk, last year, wind, there was loads of wind, and essentially it was a really good fuel source, but we�*ve actually had... ithink fuel source, but we�*ve actually had... i think wind power has gone down about 20% this year, and so there will be innovations in the renewable sector. i think companies and industry and the government are basically looking at utilising renewables in what they do, and they have got goals that they have set their game for, so if we were to get to net zero x 2045 in scotland, then we need to be looking at alternative solutions to what we are currently using. solutions to what we are currently usina. . ~ solutions to what we are currently usina. .,

set ourselves some pretty harsh targets, tough targets to meet about reducing our emissions to net zero. that is essentially balancing out what we put into the atmosphere with what we put into the atmosphere with what we put into the atmosphere with what we take out. and what we do with it. in scotland the target was 2045, in the rest of the uk it is 2050. are we anywhere on track getting that.

on that. that�*s really important but enough sadly. now we have to find ways to use all that renewable electricity and there are whole host of other things to do well. we can be untracked for those targets and that will be a really important part of the preparations for cop 26 this year. of the preparations for cop 26 this ear. , . . of the preparations for cop 26 this ear, . , ., ., of the

there are a whole host of other things we need to do. it's host of other things we need to do. it�*s notjust about government but the government is going to have to steer and leave that. in setting

be a role for oil in future. we use it in plastics and a host of areas in ways that don�*t cause climate change, so that don�*t cause climate change, so thatis that don�*t cause climate change, so that is important to say, but the size of the sector that we have had in scotland so far in the number of people working in that sector needs to shrink. we need to transition away from that being one of the most important sectors of the scottish economy and the uk economy into the host of new areas that we will need the new sectors we will need on the net zero world. there are a whole host of challenges we will need there. the challenge of governments and leaders is to pay the pave the way for that. how would you define success? that is such a hard _ how would you define success? trust is such a hard question. it is such a critical one because it�*s the first stop to globally that we�*ve had since the paris agreement was made and paris was a big moment globally in terms of the diplomacy there and we talked about temperature targets in paris. glasgow is going to be how we meet those targets and so the measure of success is through whether we can have agreements between the parties in the countries of the world, the world leaders literature on behalf of those countries, whether they can come together and get us on a path that points towards this temperature targets that were set in paris. the key thing is 1.5 c and that is the temperature threshold that was set in paris and keeping that alive is an outcome for the major test of what is going to be a success or not.

cape town came very close to running out of water entirely. they have been finding out how one community is coping. this region of south africa. the town is bone dry and the dams of dried up, the fisher dead and the coastal city, home to a million people is also running out of freshwater and the four dams that are supplied with water are a combined capacity of 12%. the largest dam is a 5% full. this is the eastern cape and the water here is at its lowest level since it was built in 1967. this area over there, those were the water should be but the levels of drop significantly and on the side, we have a dry riverbed and this is where water should be flowing coming out of the dam but it is no longer there but it�*s a stark indication of it is plagued this area. already experiencing

competition. is this something so bad enough it is considered fine? is there something so horrible that it considered so enlightening was make is this something so unfair that nobody cares? is there something so horrible, tough and strange, it is something with the label climate change. it is something so sad for all around and get so strong to keep us bound. it is something i hope will force us to try because all i can do now is cry. it is something to make us make smarter ways to be kinder, nicerthan to make us make smarter ways to be kinder, nicer than we are today. it's something to share was to really think hard about everything we have done to get to this card. my my hopes, my dreams, they are all good, but so are many others. which is why we should come and join together. i only really have one wish, as simple as it is. i know it may never happen but all i hope for is peace. i want to see my world, our world smiling so happily. us being happy that our world is cooled. i ask you to bring any peace you have to the world, any little piece of hope. this is bbc news. joe biden admits it is a precarious moment for democrats, and its sweeping economic agenda. tonight in
