The clock is ticking for high-impact climate action to deliver on the promises of the Paris Agreement. COP26 took place in Glasgow, UK, in November 2021. World leaders and national delegations, representatives from businesses, civil society and youth gathered to tackle the climate crisis. The World Bank Group was there, taking part in key discussions over the two weeks.
Check out the event list below and watch the replays. You will learn about financing climate action, greening the recovery, the energy transition, investment in climate-smart agriculture and more.
