World leaders have been gathering at the COP26 climate summit, which is being described as the 'last hope' for humanity to avoid devastation.
The gathering is being held in Glasgow and runs until November 12.
The effects of global warming have been seen over the past few years, with extreme weather events such as flooding and forest fires becoming more frequent.

One of the major impacts of global warming is the melting of ice caps and subsequent rise of sea levels - and this is something that threatens coastlines around the UK.
As a region, Merseyside has plenty of coastline and is very close to a number of bodies of water.
A map produced by Coastal Central outlines the parts of our region in danger in the coming ten years.
Liverpool
Climate change could completely transform Liverpool's famous docklands according to worrying predictions, with the northern docks being particularly hard hit. From Vauxhall right up through Bootle, Seaforth and Waterloo.
Nelson and Bramley Moore dock would be at high risk, meaning the proposed site of Everton's new stadium could be in danger.
This map also shows the city's world famous Pier Head and Albert Dock areas at serious risk from rising sea levels.
Wirral
The face of Wirral's north coast will change with a continually warming climate as West Kirby, Hoylake, Meols and Leasowe could all be in danger of being swallowed by the tides.
Both Hoylake and Royal Liverpool golf courses could be underwater according to predictions.
But rising sea levels will also affect towns inland as Moreton, Bidston and Birkenhead don't escape the catastrophic effects.
Sefton
Sefton is set to be one of the worst affected areas of Merseyside if sea levels continue to rise. Coastal beauty spots from Crosby, right up to Formby and Southport will be unrecognisable as they are today.
What's more, areas further inland such as Maghull, Halsall and Banks will also feel the effects.
