"COP26 was a failure" says Greta Thunberg

Description

Back in Sweden, climate activist Greta Thunberg explains why she thinks COP26 was "a failure". The summit ended with nearly 200 nations signing a global deal to try to halt runaway global warming after two weeks of painful negotiations, but it fell short of what scientists say is needed to contain global temperature rises.
