United Nations Postpones COP26 Climate Talks over Coronavirus Fears

HeadlineApr 02, 2020

The United Nations has indefinitely postponed the COP26 climate summit scheduled for Glasgow, Scotland, in November over coronavirus fears. The Climate Action Network responded in a statement, “Let us remember this pandemic is taking place against the backdrop of an ecological crisis — one that threatens the lives of millions of people and will exacerbate the risks we already face. Just like a fast-spreading virus, climate change has no regard for borders. If one country is not safe, no country is safe.”
