NEXT week, all eyes and ears will be on Glasgow for COP26 – the UN’s urgent call to action in the fight against climate change.

From Sunday 31st October to Friday 12th November, The Big Light’s COP26 DAILY podcast, will immerse you in the stories, events and key moments of the conference.

With more than 190 world leaders descending on Glasgow, alongside tens of thousands of delegates and activists, reporter/producer, Cameron Angus Mackay, has an access-all-areas pass to the heart of the conference, bringing listeners reports, daily updates, behind the scenes interviews and all the latest news.

Cameron says: “I am so excited about being in Glasgow to report on COP26 – a pivotal gathering for discussing the world’s fight against climate disaster. I’m going to be publishing daily episodes at 6pm (available on all podcast platforms) and taking you to the heart of the summit.”
