These quizzes dive into some of the topics covered at COP26: the level of climate ambition, how the transport sector progresses on reducing emissions and what the pavilions on the inside look like.

COP26 was the 26th meeting of parties to the climate change convention, formally called the UNFCCC. In the last decade this yearly meeting has grown significantly with more side events, exhibitions and pavilions. This makes COP not only about official negotiations, but also a display of ambition, culture and vision of the actors present.
This quiz will show you some of these pavilions and what was on display. For example, in which pavilion could you see polar bears in life jackets? And can you match the pictures of the pavilions with the right country?
Take the quiz and get an impression of how COP26 looks from the inside.

There is an overload of events happening at the same time at COP26. To have a bit more structure and focus, each day has a central theme. On November 10, this theme was transport.
This quiz looks at the progress that the transport sector is making. How well are we moving forward on reaching zero emissions? What are the differences in pace among the various modes of transport? How is the sector displayed at COP26?
Take the quiz and test yourself with ten questions. Learn some new transport facts and get an impression of what was happening on Transport Day at COP26.

The second week of climate negotiations has arrived in Glasgow. The weekend saw more climate protests demanding increased action, many new delegates queued to register on Monday morning and the well-known COP energy mix of enthusiasm, engagement and stress was felt in the Scottish Event Campus. It’s now time to move on from pledges to plans and from discussions to decisions.
This quiz reflects on one of the main questions going through people’s minds at COP26: should we feel outraged or optimistic? There is a lot of information, pledges and announcements, but are these actually enough? Inspired by a wonderful podcast with a similar name this quiz dives into national plans and climate finance to provide insights into this question.
