Applying to get involved in UK Government managed spaces
A portal has been launched for businesses, civil society, academia, trade unions, indigenous groups, young people and others to apply to get involved in UK Government managed spaces at the COP26 Summit, the annual UN climate summit, taking place in Glasgow 2021. This includes opportunities such as hosting events, creative installations and exhibition space across both the Blue Zone and Green Zone.
With demand expected to be high, organisations are being encouraged to work together with collaborative proposals wherever possible with a focus on profiling the voices of those most impacted and on the front line of climate change. Please follow the COP26 LinkedIn platform which will be seeking to facilitate connections and collaboration opportunities over the days and weeks ahead.
How to apply: Further guidance and a link to the online form can be found here. A downloadable PDF guidance pack can also be found here.
Eligibility criteria: The UK Government, as Presidency, is keen to showcase businesses and organisations who have set ambitious net zero commitments by 2050 or earlier, with a credible short term action plan to achieve this, including Science Based Targets and joining the Race to Zero. Full details can be found in the links above.
Deadline: The Expression of Interest process closes at 17:00 GMT on Friday 5 March 2021. The Presidency hopes to announce the outcome of the process in May 2021.
