COP26: How climate change disproportionately affects women

We hear the experiences of women and girls and the problems they face

Our coverage of the COP26 international climate summit in Glasgow continues. Today the focus turns to the effect climate change has on women and girls around the world. We鈥檒l hear from women who explain how gender inequality and the adverse effects of climate change impacts them more than men. We'll also hear how some women are overcoming the challenges.

We鈥檒l go back to Sierra Leone to hear more about the aftermath of the fuel tanker explosion in the capital Freetown.

And our regular health expert, Dr Rick Malley, a paediatric infectious disease doctor at Boston Children鈥檚 Hospital, talks us through some of the days coronavirus stories.
