At COP26 climate summit

Barack Obama says "we are nowhere near" where the world needs to be in its fight against climate change.

Speaking at the Cop26 summit in Glasgow, the former US President says it's up to the rich nations to step up and save the planet.

He's also praised the private sector for being on board with the drive for change.

We’ve done some important work since the Paris Agreement was signed six year ago, but we’re still nowhere near where we need to be on climate. Watch live from #COP26 in Glasgow as I talk about the steps we can take to combat climate change. https://t.co/fpoGbnNehm
