COP26 Celebration Event

Camden and Council and the Camden Climte Change Alliance (CCCA) are hosting a celebration event at SamsungKX to mark the 26th United Nations Conference of the Parties (COP26).

COP26 will take place in Glasgow from 31 October - 12 November 2021 and will bring together world leaders to reach an agreement on how to tackle climate change.

This year the conference is centred around 4 key goals: adaption, mitigation, finance and collaboration.

Join Camden in celebrating carbon reduction best practice from within the borough and across London against the backdrop of the 4 key COP goals. The event also serves to bring together organisations, third sector and community to share knowledge, network, find new ways to collaborate and inspire the next wave of climate action initiatives.

As part of our celebration event we will be digitally showcasing projects from across Camden and London that show how organisations and communites have come together to help tackle the climate crisis and also deliver benefits for the wider community.

Would you like to feature in our digital showcase?

We are calling for submissions for Camden and London-wide case studies to feature in our digital showcase and as part of an e-brochure. If you would like to submit your project for review, please do so here.
