Sir David Attenborough warned that humanity is “already in trouble” as he addressed delegates at a rousing speech at the opening ceremony of COP26.

The climate campaigner stressed that our motivation “must not be fear but hope” for change and that young people “give us the impetus we need to rewrite our story”.

Elsewhere, the Prince of Wales told delegates that nations “must come together to create the environment that enables every sector of industry to take the action required”.

He added: “We know this will take trillions, not billions, of dollars. We also know that countries, many of whom are burdened by growing levels of debt, simply cannot afford to ‘go green’.”
