COP26: Glasgow and a Global Green Future

The UN Climate Change Secretariat’s 26th Conference of Parties (COP26) is less than a year away - it'll be held in Glasgow in November 2021.Both the city of Glasgow and the Scottish Government have committed to ambitious climate goals, including pledging to reach net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2045. Considerable progress has already been made – for instance, Scotland meets 76% of its energy needs using renewable sources like solar and wind.

As we look ahead toward COP26, we hosted key government and environmental leaders to share the world-leading work being done in Scotland on climate, and how Glasgow is working with other cities around the world, including New York City, and global networks like C40, to share best practices and collaborate on exciting projects to reduce emissions and ensure a just transition to a greener future.

This discussion was hosted in partnership with the Just Transition Commission of Scotland, the Scottish Government, RSA Scotland, St. Andrew’s Society of New York, and Penn 's Kleinman Center for Energy Policy.
