Watch: The climate crisis and COP26 - Open Newsroom
As we approach the COP26 summit we look at what role Ireland and the EU will play in the talks
LAST UPDATE | Oct 20th 2021, 9:00 AM
AS PART OF The Good Information Project this cycle, we’re taking a deep dive into the climate crisis in the lead-up to COP26, where world leaders will meet in Glasgow to negotiate new climate agreements.
Our Open Newsroom discussion asked what role Ireland and the EU will play in the talks, as well as providing answers to your climate questions.
We were joined by John Gibbons, an environmental journalist and commentator, who has been following the climate crisis for more than a decade.
Also on the call is Niall Sargent, an investigative journalist from Noteworthy.ie. Niall is an expert in environmental journalism and his recent work on biodiversity is essential reading.
From our team we had deputy editor Christine Bohan hosting with vital contributions from reporters Lauren Boland and Orla Dwyer.
