COP26: Who pays for transition to green economies

We'll look at how much countries will need to spend to fight climate change

On day four of the COP26 climate summit, the focus has been on how the world finances the transition to green economies. We鈥檒l explore, with the help of our business reporters, how the funding by governments and private sector is being distributed around the world, especially to the developing world.

We鈥檒l also look at the plans to move away from the use of fossil fuels and where this leaves communities which depend on these industries. We鈥檒l speak to two miners who live in 鈥渃oal towns鈥 and hear how they feel about the future of coal industry.

A new report into the conflict in Ethiopia says all sides may have committed war crimes. We鈥檒l get the latest on the crisis.

The US is rolling out Covid-19 vaccines for children aged five to 11 this week. We hear from parents of young children and also speak to our regular coronavirus expert, Dr Maria Sundaram who is an infectious disease epidemiologist at Marshfield Clinic Research Institute in Wisconsin.
