Cop26: Five graphs that show reality of climate change

The Conference of the Parties - known as Cop26 - is a set of climate talks that will bring together heads of state, climate experts and campaigners to agree on coordinated action to tackle climate change.

The difference in the average global temperature from 1850 to 1900 increased by more than 1.2C.
