SCOTTISH Labour has called for climate leadership from the SNP as Cop26 began in Glasgow, after Nicola Sturgeon said that world leaders must return home from the conference with a “message of hope.”

Officials from the Westminster and Scottish governments, plus Glasgow City Council, welcomed those attending the United Nations climate summit, whose formal opening took place today, ahead of a two-day summit of about 120 world leaders starting on Monday.
