now on bbc news we have a global climate debate special, with kirsty wark. time is running up for global leaders to make the binding promises on climate change needed to save the planet for the next generation and generations to come. in this debate from cop26 in glasgow, young people from around the world will be asking four leading international political figures tough questions about the commitment to averting environmental disaster and finding solutions for change. music. hello and welcome, wherever you are, to the bbc�*s big global climate debate. the latest report from the intergovernmental panel on climate change warned that it is now code red for humanity. the british promised boris johnson, had said if we do not get serious about climate today it will be too late for our children to do so tomorrow. so, from ending coal mining and drilling, to ending a travel and committing rich countries to helping poorer ones, we are committing to environmental cases. this is the panel. we have the secretary of state for business, energy and industrial strategy. the uk government are hosting the cop conference and say young people have every right to be angry on the lack of action on climate change. the uk is committed to net—zero by 2050 but with a government a controversial new oilfield in the north sea, the decision in the north sea, the decision in the oilfield niche at field will be made soon and maybe we can find out tonight what they may be. jenny mccarthy is a first not white house national climate advisor and as well as working for president biden she said to president obama as the head of the us environmental protection agency and she says we are at cop26 to accelerate action but america does not entirely clean hands, it is the fracking capital of the world which comes with environmental concerns. this is a new prime minister of greenland, the country president trump wanted to bye! early other prime minister, the youngest prime minister, the youngest prime minister in the world at the age of 3a, said that with the arctic warming at the rate three times faster than the rest of the world, greenland is experiencing the drastic changes first hand. and this is columbia's minister of mines and energy. previously he oversaw the energy transformation policy, including increasing the share of renewable energy from i% to 12% but colombian export of coal, the dirtiest fossil fuel, have jumped coal, the dirtiest fossil fuel, havejumped in 2021, and deforestation continues to increase despite promises from the government to reduce that.

surely, everyone has a duty to do what they can? i duty to do what they can? i think that is true but there are big issues. the financing issue that was raised is critical. as you say, we said this in 2009, and that is why in the british government i have was maintained we have got to have an international coalition and we have to bring people to actually be as good as their word and that is what we're to do. that is one of the key points, as gina said, of the conference this year here. in terms of greenland what you want? you want to become sustainable? you need help from this $100 billion

old and in sydney, australia. this is what really worries me. australia has said they have no plans to stop mining and exploiting coal beyond 2030. it will be my generation that has to live with the consequences of decisions like these. my question to the leaders is, how can we rid the world of coal? thanks very much indeed. just to add to that, according to the international energy agency, the level of coal production forecast for 2050 is four times the limits needed to reach and at the zero emissions by 2050, which is a pretty terrifying thought. first of all, you said in september that colombian coal production is expected to rebound by 40— 50% by 2021, because demand is strong and international prices are high. this is balanced, isn't it, by having an economic future but also combating the climate crisis. how radical is yourideas climate crisis. how radical is your ideas for reduction in coal? �* ., �* , coal? and we don't burn the cold that — coal? and we don't burn the

here. _ either. but we need to agree on something here. the _ either. but we need to agree on something here. the problem i either. but we need to agree oni something here. the problem is something here. the problem is not the source of energy. the problem is emissions. so if we find a way to mitigate or eliminate the emissions from coal, then we should be ok, and we have carbon capture and storage, so for example, as part of the transition in colombia, and i have discussed this with kwasi, when we took blue hydrogen, which is using blue hydrogen, which is using blue colbert capturing all the c02 that blue colbert capturing all the co2 that is emitted during the process, that should be fine. and when we think about what are we going to do with the families that depend on this coal, we need to think about a transition. because i cannot eliminate cold overnight, and then have 100,000... but eliminate cold overnight, and then have 100,000. .. then have 100,000... but you do want to
