HUMAN HOTEL THE COP26 HOMESTAY NETWORK
The COP26 Homestay Network is one of the most environmentally-friendly and affordable accommodation solutions in Glasgow during the UN Climate Conference. It offers affordable accommodation for visitors to Glasgow and allows hosts to open their home (and their heart) to an international network of visiting activists, scientists and policymakers, while creating the opportunity to build new friendships and support the local community instead of hotel chains or private landlords. People from countries least responsible for, and most affected by, the climate crisis are often unable to attend important conferences due to lack of resources. This network ensures that everyone has the best chance of being there to make their voices heard. Hundreds of people in the Central Belt of Scotland are opening their doors to offer free or low-cost accommodation for those who really need it; from shared rooms, private rooms, or entire homes. Homesharing is the most socially and environmentally sustainable accommodation, and helps visitors make the lowest environmental impact from their trip.
LOWEST COST. SMALLEST FOOTPRINT. WARMEST WELCOME.
