There are fewer than 50 days to go until The UN Climate Change Conference, COP26, comes to Scotland!
The conference is planned as the latest of a series of international climate change conferences which are addressing the issue of global warming caused by increasing levels of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gasses in the atmosphere, due to human activity.
The UK Government is hosting this global event, which is coming to Glasgow in November.
Marie Porteous, head of sustainability and environmental management, NHS Lanarkshire said: “A COP26 Preparedness Group has been created within NHS Lanarkshire to assess the impact this will have on our staff and our services. The team will be working closely with our partner organisations – including our Local Authority colleagues – to develop resilience plans to manage any impact on Lanarkshire.
“Additionally, as a Board, work is also continuing to develop our sustainability and climate change strategy, and we are developing a risk analysis on the effects of climate change.”
To find out more about the event, there is a 30-minute COP26 awareness module to find out everything you need about this international event!
