"Green campaigners and climate leaders have vowed to keep up the
pressure on governments around the world to make stringent new
commitments on the climate crisis, as a vital UN climate summit was
delayed until next year because of the coronavirus pandemic.

The Cop26 talks were scheduled to take place this November in Glasgow,
but the UK hosts won a delay on Wednesday night from the UN and other
nations, after weeks of speculation the talks would be cancelled.

Moving the 26th conference of the parties to an as yet unspecified new
date next year gives countries time to work out their responses to the
Covid-19 emergency, which experts hope will include commitments on
shifting to a low-carbon economy rather than propping up the fossil fuel
industry."
