LIVE updates: COP26 climate summit

MANILA, Philippines — World leaders, scientists and activists will converge in Glasgow, Scotland this weekend for the high-stakes United Nations climate summit, known as COP26.

COP26 is scheduled to take place from October 31 to November 12 after being postponed for a year.

It is the first major test of the historic Paris agreement, which committed countries to capping the global rise in temperature to 1.5 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels.

Leading climate voices also consider the Glasgow summit as the “last best chance” to avert the worst consequences of climate change.
