Climate Summit for Local Government
It’s the final week of COP26 – and what a climate conference it’s been.
As marathon discussions extend through week two, on everything from compensation for developing nations from climate harm, to regulations around reporting greenhouse gas emissions, we await Glasgow’s final text to understand the full implications of these international negotiations.
Next week, hear from some of the Climate Council’s experts, on what happened at COP26 – and what must come next, at the Climate Council’s webinar: Glasgoing, going, gone: what now? A Live panel discussion following COP26.
The webinar will be an exclusive online discussion with a stellar line-up of Climate Council spokespeople, including Chief Climate Councillor, Professor Tim Flannery (back from Glasgow), and Climate Councillors, Greg Bourne, Nicki Hutley and Dr Madeline Taylor, facilitated by Climate Council CEO, Amanda McKenzie.
Wednesday 17 November 2021 | 6:30pm – 7:30pm AEDT
