COP26: Coal towns

Available for over a year

The CO26 climate summit president Alok Sharma has said coal power should be consigned to history. So how are people whose livelihoods and family histories are built on coal feeling. We speak to two coal miners in the US and in Canada about the future of coal industry. On day four of COP26 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. 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 Pedro Hallal.
