BBC World Service - Newsday, COP 26: Agreement to end deforestation by 2030

More than 100 leaders announce commitment to stop deforestation by the end of the decade

We have a special report on logging in the Democratic Republic of Congo where large numbers of people rely on burning charcoal for their fuel.

Another big announcement was India's pledge to reach net zero emissions by 2070 -- but is that 20 years too late?
