Follow the latest developments as world leaders gather at the COP26 climate summit in Glasgow COP26BBC

George WrightYou will be hearing a lot of words from politicians today. So here's what COP26 looks like for Precious Kalombwana, a 27-year-old climate activist from Lusaka, Zambia.

I grew up in a village surrounded by beautiful green forests. Now when I go back, the forest has been destroyed. I’ve been involved in activism for four years, engaging youth in Zambia to demand climate action. I’ve been able to create awareness in my village by planting trees and advocating for climate justice. This has been a great journey for me.

But where I live, when you explain to people here that climate change is real, they argue and say it’s not. It’s really affected me - when you’re explaining that you’re facing floods, deforestation, sickness through air pollution and they do not believe that climate change is real. I’m a delegate at COP26. My message to world leaders is that they are giving us fake promises. Since 1995, they have been talking a lot -"blah, blah, blah" - and not acting. They’re not taking it seriously.

Faith groups and pilgrims lead Glasgow COP26 climate protestsThousands of activists head to Glasgow to make their climate change concerns known. To avoid more bloodbaths, understand that there never was and never will be a freedom of religion. Christian nations seem more tolerant than other nations only because they know tolerance is the best hiding place for intolerance. The Earth sees the human as a virus and it will do it’s utmost to protect itself 😁. I was going to comment, but decided what I really want to say would be taken the wrong way.
