The COP26 climate summit in Glasgow is well underway, and we want to make sure you're aware of our fantastic summit offer.
For the last few days, we've been bringing you daily live news and updates, video briefings and exclusives from the ground at the SEC and around Glasgow.
We want to make sure you aren't missing any of our fantastic coverage, and we're delighted to say that our two-week free subscription trial offer is still live.
Free trial
For two weeks, you can access all that The Herald has to offer for free.
Head to our subscribe page and select the Premium option. This will entitle you to unlimited access to The Herald's digital platform for two weeks.
After that, it'll be just £6.99 a month to continue this fantastic access after the conference.
Our COP26 coverage
What will this free trial entitle you to during COP26? We have a whole host of content for you over the next few weeks.
Each day during COP26, we're bringing you the latest in breaking news both inside and outside the conference. We have reporters inside the SEC, and others on the streets of Glasgow ready to bring you the most up to date news from all across the city.
Each day, we have experts from across the environmental sphere in our Voices Live section, promising analysis and opinion on the biggest issues of the day.
And as a subscriber, you have access to our wide variety of newsletters - including our dedicated COP26 daily briefing. As the conference gets underway, our reporters will give registered users and subscribers a digest of what's to come throughout the day, and the biggest updates from the ground.
What else will you get with your subscription?
A subscription will give you access to our unrivalled COP26 coverage as well as a number of unmissable perks.
With that subscription, you’ll see 80% fewer adverts on our website and have unlimited access to all our stories, including premium articles.
This means you will be able to read The Herald's online coverage from our award-winning team uninterrupted.
It’s our job to make sure The Herald is your go-to site to keep you up-to-date.
But as a Herald subscriber, you will also have access to exclusive "Premium" articles. Around one in five of our stories are only available to people who have signed up to a Herald subscription.
These articles are the very best of what we do - written from our top writers across a range of specialisms, from politics, to sport, to business, to arts. They could be analysis, comment, insight, interviews, features or big newsworthy investigations.
Terms and Conditions
This offer is valid until November 12, 2021. After the initial free trial period, the subscription will be charged at £6.99 per month. All subscriptions will auto-renew unless cancelled. Please see newsquest.co.uk/digital-subscription-terms-and-conditions for full details.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
