The Centre for Commercial Law Studies, Queen Mary and the School of Transnational Law, Peking University hosted a special event ahead of the COP26 Climate Conference.
The Glasgow climate conference, COP26, will be the most significant global climate meeting since the adoption of the Paris Agreement in 2015, as the Paris architecture for ratcheting up ambition and action is tested for the first time. The Glasgow conference, delayed by a year, is also an experiment in holding a major UN meeting during the ongoing pandemic, introducing great unpredictability into an already challenging agenda. In this webinar, climate law scholars and practitioners offered a preview of this vital meeting for the global response to the climate crisis, including the road to Glasgow, key issues for decision and the prospects for a successful conference.
