COP26 Kicks Off in Glasgow with Participation of Morocco

Glasgow – The COP 26 UN Climate Change Conference, hosted by the UK in partnership with Italy, opened Monday in Glasgow, with the participation of Morocco.

The Moroccan delegation is led by the Head of Government, Aziz Akhannouch.

The event, which will run through 12 November 2021, brings parties together to accelerate action towards the goals of the Paris Agreement and the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change.

The Summit aims to secure global net zero by mid-century and keep 1.5 degrees within reach, adapt to protect communities and natural habitats, mobilise finance to fund climate actions and ensure joint action to address the challenges of the climate crisis.

It also seeks to finalise the Paris Rulebook (the detailed rules that make the Paris Agreement operational) and accelerate action to tackle the climate crisis through collaboration between governments, businesses and civil society.
