As delegates from 2021 UN Climate Change Conference or COP 26 head home this week from Glasgow in Scotland there are some positives emerging from the meeting.
More than 30-thousand delegates attended – representing governments, business, NGOs, faith groups and more had one goal for this conference – to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees C, while assuring a transition to a low carbon future.
IPPF was also at the meeting making our contributions to this goal and making the more explicit links between Climate Change and SRHR and gender equality.
Below is a rundown of IPPF’s contributions at the conference:
