Malala Yousafzai has said she hopes the UK will use the Cop26 conference to highlight that girls’ education, gender equality and climate change are not separate issues.

Scotland is due to host the summit of world leaders later this year, described as the most important gathering on climate change since the Paris Agreement in 2015.
