Scotland’s climate change science and COP26
Wednesday 6 October 2021 @ 9:50 am - 3:45 pm
Joint meeting between the Scottish Centre of Royal Meteorological Society and the Royal Society of Edinburgh
Join the Royal Society of Edinburgh and the Scottish Centre of the Royal Meteorological Society for an online conference on Wednesday 6th October on the science and impact of climate change.
In the lead-up to COP26 in Glasgow, the conference will bring together some of Scotland’s leading climate scientists to discuss the current understanding of climate science, including the latest assessment from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).
The event will consider current and future impacts of climate change, including its impact on temperatures and storminess, heatwaves and food production. It will also discuss the societal action required to limit the impact of climate change and to meet ambitious net-zero targets.
The conference will provide an opportunity for the public to discuss these issues with, and to put questions to, leading climate scientists. It will also be an opportunity to learn more about CoP26 and what we can expect from it.
