For the first time, the UK will host the 26th UN Climate Change Conference of the Parties (COP26) at the Scottish Event Campus (SEC) in Glasgow on 1 – 12 November 2021.
The climate talks will be the biggest international summit the UK has ever hosted; bringing together over 30,000 delegates including heads of state, climate experts and campaigners to agree coordinated action to tackle climate change.

Key Conference themes:
- Determine new global targets on climate change: Tackle Climate change & bring about urgent climate action.
- Protect planet for future generations (UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration)
- Transformational change needed to unleash full potential of Paris Agreement
