In November, the UK hosts COP26 in Glasgow. We will seek to accelerate action to reduce emissions, strengthen adaptation and resilience to the impacts of climate change, scale up means of implementation, protect and restore nature, and empower inclusive action.
Yesterday’s Climate Development Ministerial, convened by the Foreign Secretary and COP26 President, is a key milestone in the run-up to November. The summit will discuss challenges and priorities for implementing the Paris Agreement and SDGs in the countries most vulnerable to climate change, including the need for innovation and practical solutions.
