A cop to sort out climate change matters?

Yes, we need the COP26 in Glasgow!!!

 

Remember that the word 'cop' is a colloguial way to refer to a police officer in the United States. Can you remember the film ROBOCOP (short video to remind you)?

 

Actually, in this case COP26 stands for Conference Of Parties dealing the issue of climate change in our planet and it is the 26th time they meet. 

 

Three terms to unlock COP26 (BBC Learning English): net zero emissions, circular economy and 1.5 degrees + renewables, reduce emissions, change our diets, the clock is ticking.
