COP26 is the foremost international conference on climate change. It brings together leaders from across the globe to advance climate action and to promote implementation of the Paris Agreement, the world’s major legally-binding international treaty on climate change. The IPU has long supported the engagement of parliaments in annual COP meetings through the organization of parliamentary meetings. COP26 provides a critical opportunity to reflect on what has been achieved since the Paris Agreement was signed in 2015 and to set concrete plans to reach the Paris Agreement targets, at a time when the climate crisis is more critical than ever.
