The UK is set to host COP26 in November 2021. The summit is seen as the first real chance for the world to assess what has been achieved since the implementation of the historic Paris Agreement and to enable countries to come together and set meaningful targets for reducing global carbon emissions in response to the climate crisis. Throughout the year, Travers Smith will be updating this page with analysis, key developments, and some of the pro bono and other work we are doing in this area.
