b'
This week will bring around 25,000 world leaders, business people, policy shapers and campaigners together in Glasgow for COP26, a global climate summit that\\u2019s seen as a crucial moment in the fight to curb global warming. \\n \\nAmong them will be young activists who in the last few years have made global headlines with the School Strike for Climate movement. Beginning with Greta Thunberg in Sweden in 2018, millions of young people have taken to the streets to try to get their voices heard. \\n \\nWe hear from three young people devoted to climate activism. In the Philippines, Mitzi Jonelle Tan grew up amid severe typhoons that would flood her bedroom. In India, Disha Ravi saw her grandparents struggle to get enough water for their farm. And in the United States, 19-year-old Jerome Foster has been invited to join President Biden\\u2019s Environmental Justice Advisory Council. \\n \\nDo these young activists feel their voices are being heard? What action do they most want to see from world leaders at COP \\u2013 and how realistic are their demands? \\n \\nPresenters Kate Lamble and Jordan Dunbar talk to Disha Ravi, Mitzi Jonelle Tan, Jerome Foster and the BBC\\u2019s Environment Correspondent, Matt McGrath. \\n \\nProducer: Sophie Eastaugh\\nResearcher: Natasha Fernandes \\nSeries producer: Alex Lewis \\nEditor: Emma Rippon \\nSound engineer: Neil Churchill
