The Church of Scotland’s climate change officer has said news that a major climate conference will be held in Scotland is ‘huge’.
Adrian Shaw said he was feeling ‘excitement and a little bit of shock’ after it was confirmed that the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change Conference of the Parties (COP26) will take place in Glasgow in November 2020.
At the conference, around 30,000 delegates, representing nearly every country in the world, will meet to discuss the next steps in the fight to limit global temperature rises, building on the Paris Agreement of 2015.
