Summary

Hello! As COP26 kicks off, we’re exploring how cities and towns are leading the way on tackling the climate crisis.

Polly Billington from UK100 tells us what local leaders are up to in the UK. And deputy mayor of Paris Celia Blauel is back to tell us about the city’s ambitious climate plan.
