In brief: COP26<br />
COP26 – or the 26th UN Climate Change Conference of the Parties - took place in Glasgow in<br />
October-November 2021. It brought together thousands of heads of state, climate experts and<br />
campaigners to agree action to tackle climate change. It also allowed <strong>Scotland</strong> and Scottish businesses<br />
to showcase our climate action ambitions and achievements to a global audience.<br />
First Minister Nicola Sturgeon described it as “one of the most important events ever held in <strong>Scotland</strong>”.<br />
