Summary/Abstract: COP26, the 26th Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), was held in Glasgow between 31 October and 13 November. Its aim was to increase global ambitions in the area of climate change mitigation, adaptation to these changes, as well as financing the fight against climate change. Expectations for the summit were very high, but the agreements that were reached and the new Climate Pact signed by 196 countries and the EU fell short. This does not mean, however, that the summit was a failure. The upcoming months will show the extent to which the new arrangements will translate into real measures to protect the climate.
