About 120 world leaders, from US President Joe Biden to the prime minister of Andorra, are gathering in Glasgow for the COP26 climate conference COP26BBC
Apart from leaders, famous names such as Sir David Attenborough are expected to attend. He has been named as COP26 People's Advocate and he will address world leaders and other attendees during the summit.
Accommodating 25,000 delegates and tens of thousands who want to attend the COP for other reasons has been a major headache for the city.BBC Scotland found one room in the city which is usually £42 per night being advertised as costing £1,400 per night during the summit.One Airbnb host was banned from taking bookings during COP26 after he hiked the cost of his two-bedroom flat by $2,000 to a client who had already paid well in advance.
Congestion maps show how Glasgow travel will be "significantly impacted" by extensive road closures and tight security.
