The 26th United Nations Climate Conference of the Parties (COP26) was held in Glasgow in November. The event marked the most significant international climate talks since the 2015 Paris Agreement. Over the course of two weeks, a range of agreements were reached and public and private initiatives were announced that will shape national and international climate action in the coming years. Sidley’s webinar provided a unique opportunity to hear senior government negotiators from across the globe reflect on COP26, new climate goals, and the path forward on global cooperation on climate change.
