in november the united nations held their 26th annual climate summit, cop26. delegates from across the globe met to discuss plans of action to combat climate change. the result was the glasgow climate pact<\/a>, which encourages nations to scale back emissions by 2030 to prevent the 1.5 degrees celcius of global warming.<\/p>\n

but at the same time, around 100,000 people<\/a> took to the streets of glasgow to advocate for more climate action. around the globe, people marched for the same cause.<\/p>\n

soon after the conference, the house of representatives passed the build back better bill<\/a>, approving over $2 trillion in spending, much of which is allotted to combat climate change throughout the next decade. yet to be approved by the senate, the bill’s spending overall is more than a trillion dollars less than president joe biden’s original proposal. among the list of ideas proposed by the bill is the first-ever civilian climate corps, a federally funded program to provide america\u2019s youth with environmental protection and reclamation jobs. both cop26 and the bill reveal insights into what the future of climate change advocacy looks like for youth around the world.<\/p>\n

in conversation with me on november 22, washington post climate reporter and planet forward advisory councilmember tik root analyzed what happened in the conference, or maybe more appropriately, what didn\u2019t happen, and how the future of climate action may be shaped by cop26 and the build back better bill.
