Search Ramboll.com Search The 2021 UN climate summit takes place in Glasgow, UK, from 31st October – 12th November. It’s a make-or-break opportunity for governments to agree ambitious national carbon reduction targets and put the world on course to reach net-zero emissions by 2050. The summit must also agree action to protect communities and natural habitats and mobilise meaningful funding to support climate adaptation and resilience measures in developing countries. We believe COP26 is the last best chance to drive action at speed and scale and we want to be part of the solution. World leaders, businesses and industry, and citizens must all take ambitious steps to accelerate the green transition.
