Russian President Vladimir Putin is delivering a recorded message via video link at an event on forests and land use on the third day of the 26th UN Climate Change Conference of the Parties (COP26) in Glasgow. Under the UK presidency, together with Italy, COP26 set out four main goals – to secure global net-zero emissions by mid-century and keep 1.5 degrees Celsius within reach; to adapt to protect communities and natural habitats; to mobilize finance; and to work together in order to make the Paris Agreement operational.
