COP26 (26th Conference of the Parties)
COP26, held in 2021, is the 26th annual gathering of the United Nations Climate Change Conference, where countries convene to discuss and negotiate actions to combat global warming. Participating nations aim to set commitments for reducing greenhouse gas emissions, accelerating clean energy transitions, and supporting climate adaptation and resilience. The conference fosters international cooperation, with the goal of limiting global temperature rise to well below 2°C above pre-industrial levels, ideally to 1.5°C. It plays a critical role in shaping global climate policy and ensuring collective accountability for addressing climate change.
