From 1–12 November, the UK is hosting COP26 — the 26th conference of the parties — in Glasgow, at the Scottish Event Campus (SEC) Centre. The parties are the countries that belong to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), and number more than 200.
This convention was established at the first meeting in Rio in 1992, and there has been a conference every year since then, with the exception of 2020, when it was postponed due to COVID-19. The Kyoto Protocol and the Paris Agreement are two of the agreements to take action on climate change that have arisen from these conferences.
