GLOBE COP26 Legislators Summit
Event Details
Dates: 5 - 6 November 2021
Location: Hybrid
Due to the ongoing travel restrictions as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, this will be a hybrid event. The Legislators' Summit will be held at the Scottish Parliament in Edinburgh, but Parliamentarians and external stakeholders will also be able to attend the event virtually.
Host: GLOBE International and the Scottish Parliament
Overview
Since the inception of the UNFCCC Conference of Parties (COPs) almost 30 years ago, GLOBE International has hosted a legislators' summit to coincide with the Conference.
This year, ahead of the 26th UN Climate Change Conference of the Parties (COP26) in Glasgow, the CPA has partnered with GLOBE and other international partners to facilitate the engagement of parliamentary networks and Parliamentarians at the Conference.
The UNFCCC Parliamentary Group, led by GLOBE International, will provide administrative, information and coordination support to engage cross-party legislators at UNFCCC meetings and COPs.
Delegates representing the members of the UNFCCC Parliamentary Group will attend the GLOBE COP26 Legislators' Summit, which will convene cross-party legislators to share innovations and best practice on climate action.
