What is COP26 and the Green Zone?
Everything you need to know about the United Nations Climate Change Conference
What Happens at COP?
Activity at a COP takes place in two different zones: the Blue Zone and the Green Zone. Delegates from around the world meet for both formal negotiations and informal consultations with other delegations, UN agencies and non-profit organisations.
What do we need to achieve at COP26?
Secure Global Net Zero by 2050 and keep 1.5 degrees of global warming within reach. To do this, countries will need to accelerate the phase-out of coal, encourage investment in renewables, curtail deforestation and speed up the switch to electric vehicles.
Adapt to Protect Communities and Natural Habitats
The climate is already changing and it will continue to change even as we reduce carbon emissions, with devastating effects. We need to work together to protect and restore ecosystems, build defences and make infrastructure and agriculture more resilient.
Mobilise Finance
To realise our first two goals, developed countries must deliver on their promise to raise at least $100bn in climate finance per year. We need to work towards unleashing the trillions in private and public sector finance required to secure global net zero.
Work Together to Deliver
We can only rise to the challenges of climate change by working together. At COP26 we must finalise the Paris Rulebook and, we have to turn our ambitions into action by accelerating collaboration between governments, businesses and civil society to deliver climate goals faster.
