World leaders will meet at the COP26 Climate Change Conference in Glasgow on November 1-2, according to the conference’s programme released by the UK government on Wednesday.

The United Kingdom’s Presidency Programme for COP26 has unveiled today to drive forward climate ambition and action against key issues alongside two weeks of intensive climate negotiations in Glasgow.

Cross-cutting themes like science, innovation and inclusivity will run throughout the programme, as will the need to mitigate climate change, adapt to its impacts, and mobilise public and private finance.

The Presidency programme will run alongside the formal negotiations, which sit at the heart of the UN summit and will focus on closing off the outstanding aspects of the Paris Agreement, the statement read further.
