Just after 11pm on Saturday 13th November, COP26 president Alok Sharma declared the conference closed. The resulting Glasgow Climate Pact has garnered complex and nuanced responses from across global society, and within Cambridge University’s community of academics, students and staff.
Across the November fortnight in Glasgow, a plethora of those from the Cambridge community contributed to a diverse array of COP26 events and initiatives, reflective of Cambridge’s strength in breadth and depth. Students and staff alike were engaged across COP26; active in the conferences’ Green and Blue zones, numerous ‘fringe festivals’ and the People’s Summit, alongside the weekend marches, attended by over 100,000 people.
