COP26 climate summit is fast approaching and a series of major stakeholders are set to be in attendance at the diplomatic meet. Representatives from more than 200 countries are expected to participate in the meet, which is scheduled between October 31 and November 21. 

The following world leaders, including political and non-political participants, are expected to be in attendance:

-Boris Johnson, Prime Minister of United Kingdom

With the United Kingdom being the host of the meeting, which is being organised in Scotland’s Glasgow, Boris Johnson‘s presence was expected. In addition to Johnson, British Cabinet Minister Alok Sharma, who has been appointed as COP President, will also be a part of the summit.

-Antonio Guterres

Antonio Guterres, who has been United Nations Secretary General for years, has been pushing steps to combat climate change throughout his tenure. The multilateral efforts surged last year after a striking report on global temperature rise was released by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.

-Greta Thunberg

Youth climate activist and Swedish national Greta Thunberg will be one of many non-political personalities present at the COP26 summit this year. However, the 18-year-old previously told The Guardian that she does not expect much out of the diplomatic meeting, however, would be willing to meet up with United States President Joe Biden.

-Queen Elizabeth II
