COP 26 basics: COP 26 is a huge conference gathering 30,000 people in Glasgow from October 31 to November 12. Those gathered include heads of state, UN agencies, intergovernmental agencies, business leaders, NGOs, faith groups, all kinds of civil groups, observers, and the press.
It’s a big conference with a big goal: promise each other we will all do our part to mitigate the effects of climate change. This is a heavy lift.
