COP26 – Supporting the UK Presidency
From 31 October -12 November 2021, heads of state, climate experts and campaigners will gather at United Nations Climate Change Conference, known as COP26. The COP is a summit of the 197 countries that form the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change or ‘UNFCCC’. British Antarctic Survey’s research programme is designed to provide knowledge to help society live with and adapt to climate change. A programme of public engagement events will run up to and during the conference.
