Hollywood star Idris Elba is in Glasgow today to attend an event at the COP26 climate summit.
The 49-year-old, known for starring in flicks such as Thor, American Gangster and Prometheus, spoke at a media briefing in the 'blue zone' of the climate conference at the SEC campus alongside actor wife Sabrina Elba.
The briefing was with the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD) and Conservation International on investing in small-scale agriculture, climate adaptation and nature-based solutions to achieve sustainable food systems.
Both Idris and wife Sabrina are IFAD Goodwill Ambassadors and International Fund for Agricultural Development and Conservation International Board Members.

He was joined by fellow speakers by M. Sanjayan, CEO of Conservation International, and Gilbert F. Houngbo, President of the International Fund for Agricultural Development.
Elba is no stranger to Glasgow, having filmed scenes for blockbuster Fast & Furious spinoff Hobbs & Shaw on the city streets back in October 2018.
His visit to Glasgow for COP26 follows that made by Leonardo DiCaprio, who has been spotted attending various COP26 fringe events around the city over the past week - including SWG3 and the Engine Works in Maryhill.
