In this Episode
In November 2021, representatives from around the world gathered to update their climate commitments at the 26th United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) Conference of the Parties (COP 26) in Glasgow, Scotland.
The conference received substantial attention from media and climate groups around the globe, the likes of which we haven’t seen since COP 21 – the 2015 Paris Climate Accords.
So why was there so much anticipation leading up to this year’s COP? What were the expectations, and were they met? And do the new commitments made at COP 26 put us on track to meet global climate targets?
Megan Darby, Editor of Climate Home News, a UK-based news organization that covers the international politics of the climate crisis, joined Climate Now to unpack the key results from COP 26.
