Cop26 is coming to Glasgow

It's a exciting time for Glasgow and great that the city is hosting  Cop26, the 2021 United Nations Climate Change Conference that will be running from 31st October - 12th November. 

The city is expecting to host over 30,000 delegates as well as over 100 World leaders so we're expecting to be making a few more coffees over the two weeks.

If you visit Get Ready Glasgow there is a load of information for you including details about the conference, Glasgow's focus and here's a link to Cop 26 Explained
