COP26: Who pays for transition to green economies

On day four of the COP26 climate summit, the focus has been on how the world finances the transition to green economies. We’ll explore, with the help of our business reporters, how the funding by governments and private sector is being distributed around the world, especially to the developing world.

We’ll also look at the plans to move away from the use of fossil fuels and where this leaves communities which depend on these industries. We’ll speak to two miners who live in “coal towns” and hear how they feel about the future of coal industry.

A new report into the conflict in Ethiopia says all sides may have committed war crimes. We’ll get the latest on the crisis.

The US is rolling out Covid-19 vaccines for children aged five to 11 this week. We hear from parents of young children and also speak to our regular coronavirus expert, Dr Maria Sundaram who is an infectious disease epidemiologist at Marshfield Clinic Research Institute in Wisconsin.
