The latest edition of our Dezeen Weekly newsletter includes an interview with the UN's champion for the COP26 climate conference as part of our carbon revolution series.

In the interview Nigel Topping, the UN's champion for the COP26 climate conference, said architecture was "one of the least well-represented businesses" in the UN's net-zero push.

According to Topping none of the world's 50 largest firms have signed up to its Race to Zero campaign. This is despite the fact that the built environment contributes around 40 per cent of greenhouse gas emissions.
