The delayed 26th Conference of the Parties (COP26) of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), which binds over 190 Parties, will take place in Glasgow from 1 to 12 November 2021 under the presidency of the United Kingdom. It will be one of the pivotal events of 2021, with a focus on countries increasing the ambition of their commitments to tackle the climate emergency.
The event is part of the so-called '2021 super year' of milestones linking climate, nature and people. IIED researchers and partners will be present throughout the two-week gathering, focusing on issues such as getting climate finance to the local level and supporting negotiators from the least developed countries.
The Development and Climate (D&C) Days event in the middle weekend of COP26 will bring together thinking from various sectors that are seeking coherence and cross-cutting collaboration to ensure climate resilience for all.
This page will be updated with our latest research, commentary, news, analysis and events in the run-up to COP26.
