Cop26 climate summit expected to be postponed again
The Cop26 climate summit, which was due to take place this November in Glasgow, had been tentatively rescheduled for early 2021 but looks likely to be pushed back due to the coronavirus pandemic.
The UK is expected to ask the United Nations and other countries to consider a longer delay until 1- 12 November 2021, putting the event back an entire year. The idea of a virtual conference has been suggested but there are fears that it would limit the impact of activists pushing for more urgent change.
Governments are supposed to prepare detailed plans before Cop26 on how to cut their greenhouse gas emissions in line with the Paris agreement, which most have so far failed to do. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, the world’s leading body on climate science, has warned that the world must change course drastically by 2030, making this year’s deadline for revised national plans even more urgent.
196 nations are expected to take part in Cop26.
