Watch again: Cop26 president Alok Sharma discusses Glasgow summit

Watch again as Cop26 President Alok Sharma speaks at Chatham House to discuss the successes of the Glasgow climate summit and the UK's priorities for the rest of his Presidency.

Cop26 saw the world’s wealthiest countries join together to make commitments in keeping global heating to 1.5c.
