COP stands for Conference of the Parties — meaning a gathering of countries — and 2021 will be the 26th time that it’s taken place.
COP26 will last 12 days, running from October 31 to November 12, 2021. Some of the key conversations will be around net-zero emissions targets, policies to help vulnerable communities adapt to the consequences of the climate crisis, and how to pay for it all.
So, what’s different about COP26? The climate summit being hosted in Glasgow by the British government this November has been held up as one of humanity’s last chances to slow global warming. The timing couldn’t be more crucial, and the conference is a moment where the world simply can’t afford to fail.
