The COP26 UN climate change conference set to take place in Glasgow in November has been postponed due to COVID-19.
This decision has been taken by representatives of the COP Bureau of the UNFCCC (United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change), with the UK and its Italian partners.
Dates for a rescheduled conference in 2021, hosted in Glasgow by the UK in partnership with Italy, will be set out in due course following further discussion with parties.
“Also Pre-Cop and the Youth for Climate, the two preliminary events to be held in Milano in autumn, will be postponed to the next year,” declared Sergio Costa, the Italian Minister for the Environment.
