On Monday's Backchat: Carbon neutrality; and Facebook’s “metaverse”. 
Leaders of the Group of 20 major economies agreed on a final statement urgin “meaningful and effective” action to limit global warming, but offered few firms commitments.
Global attention now shifts to the United Nations COP26 climate summit which is taking place this week in Scotland.
