<p>Civil society, with their links to on-the-ground communities and practitioners,
are key partners to achieve the goals we have set for COP26. We want to work with
civil society to amplify and learn from the voices of those most affected by climate
change, to inspire increased climate ambition and to deliver a truly all-of-society
and inclusive COP.</p><p>This is why I have set up an International COP26 Civil Society
and Youth Advisory Council so that we can hear and act on the expertise of civil society
groups. I have also committed to, and have been meeting young people and civil society
in every country that I visit in the run up to November. Finally, I have a dedicated
civil society engagement team in the COP26 Unit to ensure civil society voices are
heard at COP26. My officials run regular calls with a large network of civil society
organisations to share updates on our planning for COP26.</p>
