The new coronavirus pandemic has caused the United Nations to cancel the Climate Conference – COP26, which was scheduled to be held in Glasgow (Scotland) between November 9 and 19, and the COP-15 on Biodiversity, which was scheduled to take place in the city of Kunming (China), between October 15 and 28. The conferences are expected to take place in 2021, but the dates have not yet been set.
“Covid-19 is the most urgent threat facing humanity, but we cannot forget that climate change is the greatest threat facing humanity in the long term,” said the executive secretary of the UN Conference on Climate Change, Patricia Espinosa.
