APPLICATIONS have opened today for the volunteer programme for the 26th United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP26).
The UK will host the international summit at the Scottish Event Campus (SEC) in Glasgow from November 1 to 12, 2021 and Glasgow City Council is looking for a team of around 1000 volunteers to support the staging of this globally important event.
A variety of volunteer roles will be available in both Glasgow and Edinburgh.
Anyone who is interested in volunteering at the event is invited to submit their application by March 31 to ukcop26.org/volunteer.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
Callum Baird, Editor of The National
