British minister Alok Sharma, president of what is officially called the “Conference of Parties” COP26, will lead the two-day meeting, which London said will address “key issues that require resolution” at the summit.

Mr Sharma “hopes to build common ground and sketch the outline of the Glasgow outcome”, according to a statement released by the British government.
Environment and climate officials from France, the United States, India and China will be among those taking part in the closed-door meeting, which will include both virtual and in-person attendance.
It is the first face-to-face ministerial meeting of its kind in more than 18 months.
