COP26, or the 26th Conference of the Parties, was a major international climate summit held in Glasgow, Scotland, in November 2021. It brought together representatives from nearly 200 countries to discuss and negotiate actions to combat climate change. The conference aimed to accelerate efforts to meet the goals of the Paris Agreement and limit global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels. During COP26, countries presented their plans for reducing greenhouse gas emissions, known as Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs). Key topics included the transition to renewable energy, deforestation, and financial support for developing nations. The conference concluded with the adoption of the Glasgow Climate Pact, which emphasized the need for urgent action to address climate change.
