On 21 October 2021, the Permanent Mission of the United Kingdom to the United Nations joins the Geneva Environment Network for a briefing on the opportunities and challenges to addressing climate change ahead of the 26th meeting of the Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC COP26), to be held in Glasgow, Scotland, from 31 October to 12 November 2021.
Speakers from various facets of the climate agenda will lay out what to expect at COP26, share their insights on the political dynamics and negotiations, and how to take forward the progress to be made in Glasgow to the implementing arm of international climate action in Geneva.
