COP26 is a key political moment to advance climate action. The long-awaited conference is an opportunity for countries to deliver timely commitments that take us further toward achieving the Paris Agreement’s goals of limiting temperature rise to 1.5°C, adapting to the adverse impacts of climate change, and making financial flows consistent with both.
But given the stark messages of the recent IPCC report, we already know that we will still be far off track by the end of COP26. So what happens after COP26?
Join us online to hear perspectives from key thought leaders on where the world currently stands on climate ambition, what needs to be delivered at COP26, and what has to happen afterward to get on track to achieving the Paris Agreement’s long-term goals, including through the global stocktake process.
