The next round of UN climate talks, or Cop26, has been billed as a test of global solidarity between the world\u2019s rich and poor and the most important climate talks since the Paris Agreement was signed in 2015. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Delayed by a year because of the coronavirus pandemic, heads of state, diplomats, business leaders, campaigners and journalists are due to meet in person in Glasgow, UK, from 31 October to 12 November.<\/p>\n

The hosts are aiming to mobilise a step up in climate action and keep hope alive<\/a> of meeting\u00a0the tougher goal of the Paris Agreement: limiting global temperature rise to 1.5C.<\/p>\n

Here is what you need to know about the conference.<\/p>\n
