The lines to get into the COP26 climate summit are so long that government officials are missing meetings, report says

[Paco Dennis]

I wonder why they ALL have to meet somewhere. Can't they use Zoom?

"Masses of people lining up upon arrival to the COP26 climate summit in Glasgow, Scotland, on November 1, 2021.

• Entry to the UN climate summit is taking so long that officials are missing meetings, a BBC reporter said.
• Mishal Husain said she was surrounded by officials "all missing meetings they are supposed to be in by now."
• Another reporter said that country ambassadors were stuck in the rain for three hours."

It has also been reported that there were more than 400 private jet flights bringing delegates to Glasgow. That must set a good example.

It is important that these types of events be attended, as it provides opportunity to feel really good about participation... without really doing anything significant. I struggle to keep up with the modern vernacular, but "virtue signaling" comes to mind.

Which government officials? British or Scottish?

The conference is taking place on UN territory so it is their responsibility. Local officials have no jurisdiction.
