About
For nearly three decades, the United Nations (UN) has been bringing together almost every
country on earth for global climate summits – called COPs (Conference of the Parties). In that time, climate change has gone from being a fringe issue to a global priority. This year will be the 26th annual summit – giving it the name COP26. The COP 26 UN Climate Change
Conference, hosted by the UK in partnership with Italy, will take place from 31 October to 12
November 2021 in the Scottish Event Campus (SEC) in Glasgow, UK.
Not only is it a huge task but it is also not just yet another international summit. Most experts
believe COP26 has a unique urgency – the world’s best last chance to get climate change
under control in a participatory and inclusive way.

About FEBA
The Friends of Ecosystem-based Adaptation (FEBA) is a global collaborative network of more than 90+ agencies and organisations involved in EbA working jointly to share experiences and knowledge, to improve the implementation of EbA related activities on the ground, and to raise awareness and understanding of EbA in adaptation planning processes and multilateral policy frameworks. The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) serves as the FEBA Secretariat. The coordination of the FEBA network is part of the International Climate Initiative (IKI). The Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety (BMU) supports this initiative on the basis of a decision adopted by the German Bundestag.
