About the conference

The COP 26 UN Climate Change Conference, hosted by the UK in partnership with Italy, took place from 31 October to 12 November 2021 in the Scottish Event Campus (SEC) in Glasgow, UK. At COP 26, Nations adopted the Glasgow Climate Pact, aiming to turn the 2020s into a decade of climate action and support, so that the rise in the global average temperature can be limited to 1.5 degrees. The package of decisions includes strengthened efforts to build resilience to climate change, to curb greenhouse gas emissions and to provide the necessary finance for both.
