Olympic Athletes Send Powerful Message to World Leaders on Climate Change

INTERNATIONAL: Olympic athletes from around the world have joined forces to encourage world leaders to take action on climate change at the COP26 United Nations climate talks in Scotland. In a video released by the International Olympic Committee, athletes such as tennis player Andy Murray, swimmer Emma McKeon, diver Tom Daley, basketball star Pau Gasol and marathon runner Eliud Kipchoge likened the challenge of tackling climate change to competing at the Olympics.

They said politicians need to show "real ambition and courage to secure the future that we all depend on.” COP26 comes a day after G20 big economies failed to commit to a 2050 deadline for halting net carbon emissions - a mark widely cited as a condition for preventing the most extreme global warming. Many of those leaders took to the stage in Glasgow on Monday to defend their records and in some cases make new pledges at the start of two weeks of negotiations that conference host Britain is billing as make-or-break.
