John,

Tomorrow is the opening of this year's United Nations Climate Change Conference -- also known as the 26th Conference of Parties, or COP26.

On the agenda: the future of our planet and the billions of people who live here.

The attendees will range from heads of state, mayors, and global business leaders to international NGOs, citizen activists, and nonprofit advocates. Mike, the UN Special Envoy for Climate Ambition and Solutions, will be there as well, focused on accelerating the clean energy transition, elevating local climate action, and mobilizing climate financing.

We put together a playlist of short videos to highlight some of the most important issues at COP26. Watch now to get up to speed on what's happening this week:
