Since the historic Paris Climate Change Agreement was signed in 2015, another big momentum is about to be on the horizon as the 26th UN Climate Change Conference of the Parties (COP26) will be held in Glasgow, the UK in November. U.S. President Joe Biden, who started his first executive order re-engaging the U.S. to the Paris Agreement, summoned a Leaders Summit on Climate to meet the global goals of Carbon Neutrality by 2050, has set a new nationally determined contribution (NDC) for the U.S. to achieve a 50% reduction, encouraging many countries to participate.
Is it a revival of multilateralism that did not exist under the Trump administration? Will Glasgow COP26 ever succeed? What are the conditions?
Former President of France Francois Hollande and former Secretary-General of the United Nations Ban Ki-moon, leading figures of the Paris Agreement, together with Governor of Jeju Won Hee-ryong and Governor of Washington Jay Inslee, climate champions of South Korea and the United States, are going to present ways to develop a new climate regime that will determine the future of humanity.
