Emne: Event Invitation - Road to COP26: Virtual inter-parliamentary meeting on climate change - 24 June
Dear Madam,
Dear Sir,
The Inter-Parliamentary Union (IPU), in collaboration with the British Group of the IPU and Italian Chamber
of Deputies, is organizing a virtual event in preparation for the UN Climate Change Conference (COP26).
Road to COP26: Virtual inter-parliamentary meeting on climate change
Thursday 24 June 2021 at 14:00-15:00 CEST
In support of COP26, the IPU is co-organizing several parliamentary meetings in the coming months. These
include the Pre-COP26 Parliamentary Meeting on 8-9 October 2021 in Rome, Italy, organized with the Italian
Chamber of Deputies, followed by the Parliamentary Meeting at COP26 in Glasgow, United Kingdom on 7
November 2021 (date tbc), organized with the British Group of the IPU. The expected outcome of both of
these meetings will be a document that is expected to chart a course for increased parliamentary action on
climate change.
Prior to these COP26-related parliamentary meetings in Rome and Glasgow, the IPU is hosting a virtual
inter-parliamentary meeting on climate change, in collaboration with both the British Group of the IPU and
the Italian Chamber of Deputies. This meeting will provide parliamentarians with a brief overview of COP26
and the opportunity to meet the rapporteurs from the UK and Italy who will draft the COP26 outcome
document. Furthermore, it will give parliaments a platform to engage in dialogue on priority areas for their
countries as they address climate change. The meeting will allow time for an interactive discussion and Q&A
with the rapporteurs.
The meeting will be held in English and interpretation will be provided in French (tbc).
Parliamentarians, as well as parliamentary staff, are invited to participate.

(date restant à confirmer) à l'occasion de la COP26 à Glasgow, au Royaume-Uni. Chacune de ces réunions
devrait se solder par l'adoption d'un document final. Ces documents devraient ouvrir la voie à un
renforcement de l'action parlementaire en matière de changements climatiques.
En prélude aux réunions parlementaires liées à la COP26 qui se dérouleront à Rome et à Glasgow, l'UIP
organise une réunion interparlementaire en ligne sur les changements climatiques, en collaboration avec le
Groupe britannique à l'UIP et la Chambre des députés italienne. Cette réunion donnera aux parlementaires
un bref aperçu de la COP26. Elle leur offrira également l'occasion de rencontrer les rapporteurs du
Royaume-Uni et de l'Italie, qui rédigeront le document final de la COP26. De surcroît, elle servira de
plateforme aux parlements pour évoquer les domaines prioritaires dans leur pays dans le cadre des
mesures destinées à remédier aux changements climatiques. Cette réunion comportera également une
discussion interactive et des questions/réponses avec les rapporteurs.
Elle se tiendra en anglais et sera interprétée en français (tbc).
Les parlementaires et le personnel parlementaire sont invités à y prendre part.

Road to COP26:
Virtual inter-parliamentary meeting on climate
change
24 June 2021, Zoom, 14.00-15.00 (CEST)
Concept note
Background and context
Climate change is one of the greatest threats to global prosperity, development and to the well-being of
people around the world. The impacts of climate change are increasing in many places and there is an
urgent need to accelerate climate action. The 26th United Nations Climate Change Conference of the
Parties (COP26) will take place from 1-12 November 2021 in Glasgow, United Kingdom. It will bring
together parties from around the world to advance action on climate change to meet the goals and
objectives of the Paris Agreement and United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change
(UNFCCC). Given the far-reaching and cross-border impacts of climate change, it is imperative that
countries work together to address this crisis.
Parliaments, with their core legislative, oversight, budgetary and representation functions, are key to
ensuring the implementation of the climate change goals contained in the Paris Agreement, as well as
climate-change related Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Parliaments are essential for the
translation of international climate change commitments into country level action, for example through
nationally-appropriate legislation and sufficient budget allocations. Furthermore, as climate change is a
global issue that does not recognize borders, strong inter-parliamentary cooperation is crucial for finding
international solutions that ensure all countries are able to prepare for, cope with, and address it.
The Inter-Parliamentary Union (IPU) has made supporting parliaments in addressing climate change a
priority. A number of IPU resolutions on climate change have been adopted, including most recently one
entitled Addressing climate change (2019) and another, Parliamentary strategies to strengthen peace and
security against threats and conflicts resulting from climate-related disasters and their consequences
(2021). To encourage parliamentary action on climate change, the IPU has mobilized parliaments around
COP for many years. This year, the IPU is working the Italian Chamber of Deputies and the British Group
of the IPU to co-organize two upcoming meetings for parliaments. Firstly, there will be a Pre-COP26
Parliamentary Meeting on 8-9 October 2021 in Rome, Italy. This will be followed by the Parliamentary
Meeting at COP26 in Glasgow, United Kingdom on 7 November, 2021 (date TBC). The expected
outcome of both of these meetings will be an outcome document that is expected to charter a course for
increased parliamentary action on climate change.
Objectives
Prior to the COP26-related parliamentary meetings in Rome and Glasgow, the IPU is organizing a virtual
inter-parliamentary meeting, in collaboration with the British Group of the IPU and Italian Chamber of
Deputies. This meeting will provide parliamentarians with a brief overview of COP26. It will also provide
them with the opportunity to meet the rapporteurs from the UK and Italy that will draft the COP26 outcome

document, and to share priority areas of concern for their countries and their parliaments’ focus areas on
climate change. The meeting will allow time for interactive discussion and Q&A with the rapporteurs.
IPU Members from different geopolitical groups are encouraged to share their regional perspectives on
this occasion. Separate from this event, geopolitical groups are also encouraged to organize their own
regional consultations on the draft COP26 outcome document and to further discuss regional climate
change priorities.
Participants
This event is open to all parliamentarians and parliamentary staff, in particular those that are working on
issues related to climate change, environment and sustainable development.
Languages
The language of the event will be English with simultaneous French interpretation provided (tbc).
