1-12 November
The UK will host the 26th UN Climate Change Conference of the Parties (COP26) in Glasgow on 31 October – 12 November 2021.
Blick Rothenberg Partner Alex Altmann will lead the German trade mission participating at COP26 organised by the Glasgow Chamber of Commerce in Glasgow from 1-4 November.
This key business initiative is the largest ever international trade mission hosted by a British Chambers of Commerce and is designed to support business in the delivery of circular economy solutions, sustainability and climate targets.
The mission will bring together up to 100 leading sustainable and circular businesses from across the world. Through inspiring content and an online expo, participants will have the opportunity to learn from pioneers in sustainability and circular solutions, and explore how together, we can accelerate the transition towards a more sustainable and decarbonised economy.
