BBC World Service - BBC OS, COP26: Impact of climate change on animals

We hear how climate change is affecting animals' survival

As we continue to reflect conversations about climate change in the run-up to the Glasgow summit, we’ll hear about the impact on animals in different parts of the world. We brought together experts on snow leopards, polar bears and bumblebees to compare notes.

We’ll explain the leaked document which reveals how nations have been lobbying the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change to change its crucial report ahead of the COP26 climate summit. We’ll explain what the IPCC is. We’ll speak to our BBC language services about what is revealed in the interventions from the countries they cover, including Saudi Arabia lobbying over oil, Brazil and Argentina over beef and India over coal.

One of our regular coronavirus experts will talk us through the news of the day on the pandemic and answer your questions. Dr Helen Wimalarathna is an epidemiologist at the University of Buckingham in the UK. We’ll talk about the WHO warning that the pandemic will drag on longer than it needs to because of the ongoing vaccine inequality between rich and poor countries.
