Recap of COP26 Key Outcomes and What Comes Next

The Environmental and Energy Study Institute (EESI) held a briefing that reviewed what took place at the U.N. climate change conference in Glasgow—the 26th Conference of the Parties (COP26) to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change—and why it matters for Congress.

With dozens of events and negotiating sessions happening at any one time during the two weeks of COP, it can be challenging to keep up with all the details. The briefing reviewed the key outcomes of COP26 and provide context and nuance to the main headlines coming out of the meeting. Panelists dove into takeaways from international, private sector, and local government perspectives.

This briefing series is co-sponsored by the British Embassy Washington.

This briefing is part of a series made possible by our partnership with the Henry M. Jackson Foundation.
