the Summit, known as the COP26, which are planning, the organizers, will be attended by 196 countries, will take place in Glasgow from 1 to 12 November of the following year, and the British government will act as host and President of the conference, reports The Guardian. Initially, the summit was to be held from November 9 this year. However, according to experts, the UN did not rule out that in some countries due to the possible second wave of the pandemic, which are projected this fall, can be re-introduced restrictions on flights. In addition, the search for a new date for the summit was complicated by the holding of next year, other major international environmental meetings, including the talks on the global crisis of biodiversity. According to ALok Sharma, President of the summit COP26, the organizers work with international partners on the ambitious roadmap for the global action on climate from now until November 2021. He added that the postponement of the summit will give countries more time for economic recovery with the priority objectives in terms of climate change. Negotiators from the bloc of less developed countries also urged the international community not to use the pandemic to delay “more decisive climate plans, but instead to encourage the use of renewable energy sources and other environmental measures as the recovery”.
a Representative conference in Glasgow, observers say, is to become the most important international summit of emergency climatic situations since the signing of the Paris agreement in 2015. Under this agreement the country needs every five years to make revised plans to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases to limit global warming to no more than 2 degrees Celsius and 1.5 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels. According to experts, this figure will have significant implications for sea-level rise, extreme weather events and mass migration, as people leave regions where the climate becomes uninhabitable. Scientists also warn that the countries that signed the document, will be forced to take more stringent obligations to prevent global warming in the next decade. According to the schedule, these national targets for reducing emissions, known as the NDC must be submitted this year, despite the fact that the summit was postponed.
