It is being held in Glasgow, Scotland, United Kingdom, between 31 October and 12 November 2021.[1] The conference is the 26th Conference of the Parties (COP) to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change and the third meeting of the parties to the Paris Agreement.
This conference is the first time that parties will commit to lower greenhouse gas emissions and the raising temperatures of climate change.[2]
It was supposed to be held in November 2020, but was postponed because of the COVID-19 pandemic.[3]
