Global figures take questions from young people on the challenges of climate change

Global figures take questions from young people on the challenges of climate change, presented by Kirsty Wark.

In a pivotal moment in the global fight against climate change, world leaders are gathering at COP26, the UN's flagship climate conference in Glasgow. The BBC hosts a high-level global climate debate with a panel of leading international political figures, who will take questions from young people in the studio and around the world on the challenges presented by climate change, and the hopes for global solutions to be achieved at the COP climate change meeting. 

Presented by Kirsty Wark, the debate will give young people across the world the chance to hold their leaders to account on action for climate change. 

Panel: Kwasi Kwarteng MP, UK Secretary of State for Business; Gina McCarthy, the US National Climate Advisor to President Biden; Múte Bourup Egede, Prime Minister of Greenland; Diego Mesa, Colombia's Minister of Energy and Mining.
