COP26 in Glasgow may have a record carbon footprint, despite low-flush loos and veggie haggis

It could be responsible for twice as much carbon as the summits in Madrid and Paris, and four times as much as those in Copenhagen and Durban, South Africa, according to figures compiled by The Washington Post.

The climate summit’s own carbon footprint will be substantial, a report says.

COP26 is projected to generate emissions that are equivalent to about 102,500 tons of carbon dioxide, mostly from international flights to and from the talks.
