The 26th meeting of the Conference of the Parties to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change is planned to take place in Glasgow, UK between 1 & 12 Nov 2021, will be a critical event for reaching the global commitment to limit global temperatures rise to below 2 ⁰C,  a colossal test for governance, multi-sector coordination, and individual citizen engagement, COP 26 should provide for nations to lay out their national strategies to achieve net zero GHG emissions in two stages:

• In 2030 the UN will commit to its Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to lead to a permanent human and ecological right to productive harmony with the Earth. 

• Every country will (should) declare its updated nationally determined contribution (NDC) that leads to net-zero GHG emissions by 2050.
