COP 26 Registration Opens to Facilitate Participant Vaccination
The COP 26 UN Climate Change Conference, hosted by the UK in partnership with Italy, will take place from 31 October to 12 November 2021 in the Scottish Event Campus (SEC) in Glasgow, UK.
In light of the worldwide effects of COVID-19, the COP Bureau of the UNFCCC, with the UK and its Italian partners, had decided to re-schedule the conference initially slated for November 2020.
Rescheduling the conference ensures that all parties can focus on the issues to be discussed at this vital conference and allows more time for the necessary preparations to take place. We will continue to work with all involved to increase climate ambition, build resilience and lower emissions.
Registration and participant vaccination
The opening of the registration for COP 26 is now being launched with the purpose of facilitating vaccination for the conference. The UK COP Presidency strongly recommends all COP 26 participants to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 prior to attending the conference and is offering vaccines for registered participants.
