COP26
The UK hosts the 26th UN Climate Change Conference of the Parties (COP26) in Glasgow from 31st October – 12th November. With the stakes so high this is set to be one of the most important climate summits in history.
There is increasing recognition of the urgent need to change humans’ interaction with the planet and other species.Ìý°×С½ãÂÛ̳ Anthropocene’s purview is building a network of experts in the social sciences, arts, humanities, environmental, and health sciences, and using their combined knowledge and research to discuss and address the problems that the Anthropocene poses for our collective future.Ìý
ThroughoutÌýCOP26 and beyond, we will be publishing a series of short reflections from °×С½ãÂÛ̳ Anthropocene members investigating the questions of ‘what should be happening at COP26?’ and ‘what should we take from it moving forward?’ from the point of view of their varying disciplines. Their responses show a range of creative, scientific, and political ways of thinking about the climate emergency.Ìý
A number of those in the °×С½ãÂÛ̳ Anthropocene network are in Glasgow for the conference. Find out more about °×С½ãÂÛ̳'s fullÌýCOP26 team here.
