COP is the foremost international conference on climate change and the IPU has long supported the engagement of parliaments in annual COP meetings through the organization of parliamentary meetings. COP26 provides a critical opportunity to reflect on what has been achieved since the Paris Agreement was signed in 2015 and to set concrete plans to reach the Paris Agreement targets, at a time when the climate crisis is more critical than ever.   The IPU co-organized with the British Group of the IPU a one-day Parliamentary Meeting at COP26 at the Kelvingrove Museum and Art Gallery in Glasgow on 7 November 2021.
