Event Information

Climate COP 26, Glasgow, GB


All day

COP stands for ‘Conference of the Parties’ and is the annual climate summit of the United Nations’ climate body, with this year being the 26th summit. COP26 will be co-hosted by the UK and Italy. The event will be attended by up to 200 world leaders who will discuss how to address the climate crisis by limiting greenhouse gas emissions and restricting the rate the world is warming. COP26 is the most significant climate summit since COP21 in Paris 2015, when world leaders made a landmark commitment to restrict global temperature rise to 'well below' 2 degrees C above pre-industrial levels, and ‘to pursue efforts’ to limit warming to 1.5 degrees C. This COP takes place five years after this landmark commitment, and is the first opportunity since Paris for countries to upgrade their pledges on tackling climate change at a summit- most importantly for their emissions targets through to 2030.
