Prudent dates. In the meantime, no time to lose! Well before #COP26, governments will decide on #COVID19 recovery packages. They need to be green, inclusive and job intensive if we are to safeguard our future. That is our immediate task. #BuildBackBetter https://twitter.com/COP26/status/1266077700118261760
#COP26 will take place between 1 - 12 November 2021 in Glasgow.
The COP Bureau of the @UNFCCC, with the UK and our Italian partners today agreed on new dates for the summit.
The UK will continue to work to increase #ClimateAction, build resilience and lower emissions.
It is time to align our money with our morals. Don’t campaign for peace and fund arms, don’t cycle to work and invest in fossil fuels, don’t stop your kids smoking and support cigarette manufacturers. It’s time for #pensions with intention.
