US President Joe Biden seemed to briefly fall asleep during the opening speeches of COP26 in Glasgow.
COP - which stands for conference of the parties - is organised by the United Nations Climate Change Conference and brings governments around the globe together to "accelerate action towards the goals of the Paris Agreement and the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change".
Thousands of people are expected at the Scottish Event Campus (SEC) in the heart of Glasgow for the event, where politicians, religious leaders, climate activists and journalists will gather for the United Nations summit.
Among them are Government leaders, including Micheál Martin and Boris Johnson.
But it appears that Biden was having a tough time during the opening speeches on Monday.
The clip, captured by Washington Post journalist Zach Purser Brown, shows Biden opening and closing his eyes repeatedly.
A short moment later, he shuts them again - and they remain closed for over half a minute before he is awoken as a person approaches him.
COP26 began over the weekend and has been described as the 'last best hope' to limit global warming to 1.5C alive.
The gathering will be held in Glasgow and will run until November 12.
The effects of global warming have been seen over the past few years, with extreme weather events such as flooding and forest fires becoming more frequent.
Swedish climate activist and Fridays For Future founder Greta Thunberg is also on her way and will be joining protests in Glasgow on Friday. The Fridays for Future founder will be joined by young climate activists from around the globe as they call on world leaders to #uprootthesystem and replace it with one that puts climate and biodiversity above profit. Anna Kernahan and Kay Laverty from Belfast will be among them.
