Road to COP26

The UK is hosting the UN Climate Change Conference - known as COP26 - in Glasgow from 1 –12 November 2021. As we enter this critical decade of climate action – and against the backdrop of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic – this summit is poised to be one of the most consequential climate events since the negotiation of the Paris Agreement in 2015.

In order to build a more sustainable, resilient and zero-carbon future – we need a whole economy transformation. Governments must announce strengthened national climate plans - Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) - that are in line with securing a 1.5 degree, resilient future as soon as possible. Businesses, cities, and investors must keep up the momentum (see banner below) by continuing to disclose their environmental data, set science-based emission reductions targets across the entire value chain, and source more renewable energy.

Find out below what actions you can take to accelerate climate action ahead of COP26.


1,000+
companies have set Science-based Targets.
400+
companies have signed the Business Ambition for 1.5°C commitment.
10,000+
entities have disclosed their environmental data through CDP.

How to take action

To ensure success on the road to COP26, we need everyone to take action now. Businesses and sub-national actors have an important role to play in accelerating the transition to a zero-carbon economy by committing to robust climate action, they are sending strong signals to governments that they support more ambitious climate policies. These ‘ambition loops’ - virtuous circles of action in which governments and business respond constructively to each other’s signals and together take climate action to the next level - will be key to achieve a whole economy transformation
