The COP26 climate summit in Glasgow succeeded in getting 197 countries to agree new rules on limiting greenhouse gas emissions, to limit global temperature rise to well below 2°C since pre-industrial times, and ideally to 1.5°C. It also marked the first time that coal or fossil fuels had been directly referenced in a COP agreement. While many said the deal did not go far enough, businesses nevertheless have started adapting to the green transition.
