The 26th United Nations Climate Change Conference of the Parties, also known as COP26, is being held in Glasgow, Scotland, from Oct. 31 to Nov. 12, 2021. More than 190 world leaders are participating, along with tens of thousands of negotiators, government representatives, businesses and citizens for 12 days of talks in an urgent effort to dramatically cut greenhouse gas emissions — mostly from coal, oil and gas — and keep the rise in the average global temperature to 1.5 degrees Celsius. The following is a collection of articles on the conference.
