Young people from 140 countries who attended an online mock Cop26" climate summit have presented a treaty of 18 policies to Nigel Topping, the UK's high level climate action champion.

After two weeks of negotiations, delegates from the international youth-led conference presented their formal treaty to Topping during the event's closing ceremony on Tuesday, and called on world leaders to prioritise the policies during Cop26, which was postponed for a year because of the pandemic and is now due to be held in Glasgow in November 2021.
