We're delighted to be attending COP26 – the UN Climate Change Conference this November, which will gather nations from around the world at a pivotal moment to discuss the urgent need to accelerate action on climate resilience.

In the United Nations’ Blue Zone, through the premiere of a new film Reconstructing hope, we’re telling the story of the Peru Reconstruction Project that is being delivered through a joint venture between Gleeds, Mace and Arup.

After the devastating damage done by El Niño storms in 2017 to the nation’s vital infrastructure – affecting 1.1 million people and leaving 178,000 homeless – we’re not only rebuilding what was lost but strengthening climate resilience. It is an exceptional example of a government-to-government project helping vulnerable communities recover from and prepare for the impact of climate change.

Through nature-based mitigation and adaptation solutions, the programme is enhancing infrastructure in nine regions across Peru, underpinned by close-knit intergovernmental collaboration between the UK’s Department of International Trade and Peru’s Autoridad para la Reconstruccion con Cambios (ARCC).

We will share our insights on what COP26 means for the future of the construction industry on 24 November. To join this special event, which will include members of the Gleeds team taking part in COP26, register below.

What is COP26?

From October 31st – November 12th this year, the UK will be hosting the 26th UN Climate Change Conference of the Parties (COP26) in Glasgow. COP is the climate summit convened by the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), a climate body of the UN. The goal is to bring parties together to accelerate the response to the Paris Agreement and the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change, 120 world leaders and 25,000 delegates are expected to attend the conference.

In 2015, COP21 made history rallying countries together for the Paris Agreement. COP26 this November is about showing whether or not national climate policies are on track to limit global warming to well below 2°C (and ideally 1.5°C).

Why are we attending COP26?

“Aligning with a number of the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals, the Peru Reconstruction Programme is considered an exceptional example of how successful government-to-government agreements can help vulnerable communities prepare for the worst impacts of climate change. COP26 is one of the most important climate change summits for a generation and is therefore the ideal platform to facilitate international dialogue, inspire action, and nurture collaboration. As firm believers in climate justice, we are excited by the opportunity to join an ambitious forum of minds here. We want to advance the vitally important climate conversation by demonstrating action on the ground.”
