The TCOP26 Roundtable convened on the 23rd of September to discuss the global challenges around climate change, the policies and the efforts that need to be taken at the international level. 
The issue of climate change requires systematic change throughout the global economy. While COVID-19 has resulted in the postponement of COP26, efforts at an international level need to continue. COVID-19 has brought to light challenges, but it has also highlighted key aspects of the international system, primarily the requirement to work together to solve global challenges.
