Mock COP26: Young people 'have the courage' to bring climate change to the forefront

Description

It's up to young people to tell world leaders that the world is failing over climate change, "because we know we are". That's the view of our guest, 14-year-old Lavinia Iovino, who this week is taking part in Mock COP26, a youth alternative to the regular round of adult COP conferences which this year was postponed due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Some 350 delegates are taking part virtually in the event from 150 different countries. She joined us for Perspective.
