In the run up to the COP26 meetings in Glasgow, portrait artist Fran Monks has used Zoom to photograph climate negotiators from around the world. She was curious to see who was behind these landmark agreements and what it felt like to be part of the process.

Please note that this exhibition is viewable from outside the Blavatnik School on the windows nearest to the Fountain Pen sculpture.
