* ABOUT :
The 2021 United Nations Climate Change Conference, also known as COP26, is the United Nations Climate Change Conference. It is being held in Glasgow, Scotland, United Kingdom, between 31 October and 12 November 2021, under the presidency of Alok Sharma.

This conference is the first time since COP21 that parties are expected to commit to enhanced ambition towards mitigating climate change. As outlined in the Paris Agreement, parties are required to carry out a process colloquially known as the ` ratchet mechanism ` every five years to give new national pledges.
The venue for the conference is the SEC Center in Glasgow. Originally scheduled for November 2020 at the same venue, the event was postponed for twelve months because of the COVID-19 pandemic.

*COP26 GOALS :
What do we need to achieve at cop26 ?
(1) Secure global net zero by mid-century and keep 1.5 degrees within reach
Countries are being to come forward with ambitious 2030 emissions reductions targets that align with reaching net zero by the middle of the century.
To deliver on these stretching targets, countries will need to :
> accelerate the phase-out of coal
> curtail deforestation
> speed up the switch to electric vehicles
> encourage investment in renewable.
(2) Adapt to protect communities and natural habitats
The climate is already changing and it will continue to change even as we reduce emissions, with devastating effects.
At COP26 we need to work together to enable and encourage countries affected by climate change to :
> protect and restore ecosystems
> build defences, warning system and resilient infrastructure and agriculture to avoid loss of homes, livelihoods and even lives
(3) Mobilise finance
To deliver on our first two goals, developed countries must make good on their promise to mobilise at least $100bn in climate finance per year by 2020.
International financial institutions must play their part and we need work toward unleashing the trillions in private and public sector finance required to secure global net zero.
(4) Work together to deliver
We can only rise to the challenges of the climate crisis by working together.
At COP26 we must :
> finalise the Paris Rulebook (the detailed rules that make the Paris Agreement operational)
> accelerate action to tackle the climate crisis through collaboration between government, businesses and civil society.
