If you are thinking of travelling to Glasgow for COP26, here’s all the information you’ll need, including help for anybody whose situation might disadvantage them. If you would prefer to take action locally, we’ll be announcing our plans for local actions in and around Oxford soon.
The COP26 Plan
We’re going to focus on charging world governments with crimes against humanity. Read XR UK’s position on COP here, and check out XR Scotland’s COP26 Rebellion page.
XR Glasgow have produced a comprehensive Guide to COP26. If you’re going, we recommend reading it all, but here are some key points:
- Find accommodation at the Human Hotel.
- Sign up as an individual or as an affinity group.
- Join the XR Scotland Telegram Broadcast.
- Crew needed for a variety of roles.
TELL OXFORD WHAT YOU ARE DOING IN GLASGOW
If you are involved in activity in Glasgow, please send pics with brief explanatory text to stevedawe@gn.apc.org for release to Oxford media. Please also provide a contact mobile number where the media can reach you. These pictures can be valuable for our website as well.
