Key Global Events to Watch in November November 2, 2021by the Global Observatory

A list of key upcoming meetings and events that have implications for global affairs compiled by the Global Observatory.

OCTOBER 31-NOVEMBER 12: United Nations Climate Change Conference of the Parties (COP26), Glasgow, United Kingdom

Delayed from November 2020 due to COVID-19, the United Nations (UN) COP26 summit is taking place this month in Glasgow, where global leaders are meeting to update their climate commitments under the presidency of the United Kingdom. The conference follows the release of the UN’s IPCC report which labeled climate change a “code red for humanity.” COP26 is being considered as a landmark event and is expected to draw between 20,000 and 25,000 attendees.

The goals of the conference include agreeing targets that secure global net zero by mid-century and limit global warming to 1.5 degrees; adapting to protect communities and natural habitats; mobilizing climate finance; and accelerating collaboration between governments, businesses, and civil society.

UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said his hopes were “unfulfilled” by the climate agreements reached at the Group of 20 summit last month. Opening the conference on Monday, Guterres told world leaders that we are “digging our own graves” and “treating nature like a toilet.” He urged world leaders to “choose to safeguard our future and save humanity.” Read more
