Edinburgh’s Dynamic Earth hosts ‘eyes of the world’ climate flag in the lead-up to COP26
We Are Watching comes to Scotland, and Scotland’s Capital City, for the first time ahead of COP26 which will take place in Glasgow next month. Flying on October 12 & 13 2021 alongside the Scottish Parliament building, the unveiling of the global flag also kicks off a programme of public events at Dynamic Earth that celebrate our amazing planet in the run up to COP26.
