My report from the climate change summit

Gates Notes Insiders Newsletter

By Bill Gates | November 8, 2021

Last week I spent three days at COP26, the global summit on climate change that was held in Glasgow, Scotland. The main thing I took away from my time there was how much the conversation has changed since 2015, when the world last got together for a major summit on this problem.

In a post I published on Gates Notes, I wrote about three big shifts in the climate discussion I’ve seen over the past few years, and why they make me more optimistic that we can prevent the worst global-warming scenarios. (Read the post here.)

And in case you didn’t see them last week, here are two posts I shared before and during the COP:

An op-ed about what I hoped would happen there.
The brief speech I gave at the World Leaders Summit.

With all this momentum, I’m inspired to keep doing my part to avoid a climate disaster, and I hope you are too.

Thanks for being an Insider!
