The whole Imperial community is invited to get involved in a year of action on climate change and biodiversity loss.
The UN Climate Change Conference (COP26) will be a landmark event where people and societies, businesses and governments commit to reducing carbon emissions and preventing irreversible damage to the planet.
The upcoming conference will be hosted by the United Kingdom government and held in Glasgow in November 2021. It marks a pivotal moment for the world's nations to reinvigorate their targets for tackling climate change.
As one of the world's leading universities with an established record of influencing national and international policy, Imperial College London has a vital role in ensuring the UK's leadership of the summit is based on sound scientific evidence and strong research foundations.
Imperial is launching a programme for 2021 that will engage policymakers, businesses and the public to drive forward action on climate change and biodiversity loss. This will also involve its community of staff, students and alumni and will be led by the Grantham Institute – Climate Change and the Environment, one of the College's Global Institutes.
