On 25 October, First News took a group of lucky children to Downing Street to put their questions about climate change and ideas for solutions, to Boris Johnson and Tanya Steele, CEO of WWF UK, in the lead up to COP26.
The PM started by saying: “The reason we wanted to get this group in today is because we’ve got a very important summit in just a few days’ time; perhaps the most important summit that this country has had in our lifetimes. This is the opportunity for the world to stop climate change from getting out of control.”
Then it was over to our young journalists! Watch the full press conference for more.
