The 26 Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change was held in Glasgow, UK in November 2021. Currently, 197 countries and regions are members.

The Glasgow Climate Accord was adopted at this conference. It strengthened the goal of "keeping the global temperature rise well below 2 degrees above pre- Industry levels and striving to limit it to 1.5 degrees," which was set out in the Paris Agreement adopted at COP21 in 2015, and also emphasized the gradual reduction of coal-fired power generation and the review of subsidies for fossil fuels. It also confirmed that financial support for climate change measures for developing countries would be expanded, and developed countries reaffirmed their goal of providing $100 billion in support per year.

An open ecosystem for data collaboration in the automotive industry announced in 2021. The main purpose is to improve productivity throughout the industry by sharing data throughout the supply chain and to strengthen efforts toward sustainable production and decarbonization throughout the vehicle lifecycle. Catena-X is led by major European automakers such as Volkswagen and BMW. By providing standards that allow data to be interoperable between companies and exchanging data P2P, it enables the safe use of compatible data. In addition, applications that comply with technical standards can be obtained from the marketplace, enabling fair data exchange.
