UN Climate Change Conference (COP26)

COP26 is the 26th United Nations annual climate change "Conference of Parties" (COP) to build awareness and stimulate dialog on climate action and participation.  The United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) is among the largest international meetings of governments, the private sector and civil society.  The UN climate change conferences involve officials from every country as well as representatives from businesses and civil society.  Delegates from countries meet for both formal negotiations and informal consultations.  They take part in meetings with other delegations to clarify positions, overcome deadlock, and reach agreement to collectively tackle climate change.
