Cop26 meeting taking place in Scotland, in November

Up to 25,000 guests from all over the globe are expected to attend the Cop26 event in Glasgow, which will have strict Covid-19 protocols in place.
The climate summit now has even greater meaning following yesterday's landmark report release by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, on global warming.
President of Cop26, Alok Sharma, said the "report shows that the lights are flashing red on the climate dashboard".
“This report very clearly is a very stark warning”
