Ipieca at COP26

COP26 takes place in Glasgow, 31 October to 12 November, hosted by the UK and Italian governments. The expectation is that this Conference of Parties (COP) will be the most significant since COP21, where the gap between the Paris Agreement goals and action to date will be narrowed by updated nationally determined contributions (NDCs). There is an assumption that this COP will also focus on the role of non-state actors and the importance of industries and cities in reaching net-zero by 2050.

Our dedicated Climate Change Group, set up in 1988, convenes climate experts from the oil and gas industry.

At COP26 IPIECA will be represented by our Climate Change Group secretariat and various IPIECA member company representatives.

The oil and gas industry is playing an important role in the energy transition by providing the affordable and reliable energy.

IPIECA and its members have produced a number of resources designed to raise awareness of the issues surrounding climate change.
