The #COP26 has now been officially opened. It began with a minute of silence for all those who died as a result of #COVID19 over the past two years, and all those who are mourning.

The #COP26 proceedings begin with the handing over of the presidency to the new UK President Alok Sharmar >> en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alok_Shar…

“We will succeed or fail as one.” - Alok Sharmar said in his opening remarks to the COP.

The COP decision making process is based on consensus decision making.

“The Paris Agreement is a covenant of hope with humanity.” #cop26

“Let Glasgow be the starting point of a new era, an age of resilience. It is entirely within our grasp.” - Patricia Espinosa @cop26 Executive Secretary
