The first day of the UN climate summit got under way in Glasgow on Monday with hundreds of delegates entering the Scottish Exhibition Centre while protestors gathered around the city.
CNN’s anchor Wolf Blitzer is based in Edinburgh, where many heads of state and delegates are staying during COP26, but it is not the host city.
I’m now reporting from Edinburgh in Scotland where 20,000 world leaders and delegates have gathered for the COP26 Climate Summit. COP, by the way, stands for “Conference of the Parties.” It’s the 26th time they have gathered to discuss and take action on this critical issue. pic.twitter.com/BGTAeU5cBy
