Our COP26 events are now underway
In the run up to COP26 we are hosting a series of online events on chemical science’s key role in tackling sustainability, exploring challenges, opportunities and inspirational stories from across our global chemical science community.
We’ll highlight the latest, ground-breaking research published in our journals and showcase new and emerging technologies, shining a light on the innovators driving the green revolution.
The following are open to everyone:
- Panels featuring international experts on topics such as next-generation batteries, new energy technologies, circular economy of batteries, chemistry and its role in climate change solutions
- Summaries of our recent scientific events and discussions
And the following are open to Royal Society of Chemistry members only:
- "Everything you ever wanted to know about…but were afraid to ask" - hear from experts outside of our chemical science community working on the big issues in climate and energy policy
- Drop-in sessions to meet with RSC staff and members of our leadership team and hear from some of our community on the theme of sustainability and ask questions in the lead up to COP26
Find out more about the events, including how to register and recordings of past events, here.
About COP26
For nearly three decades the United Nations have been bringing together almost every country on earth for global climate summits - called COPs.
The UK will host the 26th United Nations Climate Change Conference of the Parties (COP26) in Glasgow on 31 October – 12 November 2021. This will be the most significant meeting since the Paris Agreement was signed, establishing a global objective to limit global warming to 2 degrees Celsius with efforts to keep as close to 1.5 degrees as possible.
