Last Chance for Climate Leadership in Glasgow?

 
Already a year delayed world leaders will finally meet in Glasgow for COP26 this November. The UN recently reported that current national goals for greenhouse gas reductions are still inadequate, while also pointing out - along with developing countries - that the target for climate finance has been missed. While some optimistic notes are heard from for instance the US and EU on cutting methane emissions, several other large emitters have yet to announce new pledges.

What are the chances of a successful COP26? And how may the EU play a role in forging a grand bargaining on climate?

Moderator – director Think Tank EUROPA, Lykke Friis
