Nicola Sturgeon is set to hold a media briefing later today on the COP26 climate conference which is due to start on Sunday, October 31.
The First Minister will be joined by National Clinical Director Jason Leith and Police Scotland Chief Constable Iain Livingstone ahead of the summit in Glasgow.
World leaders, climate activists and journalists are set to descend on the SEC from Sunday to November 12.
Countries are under pressure to increase their ambition to tackle the greenhouse gas emissions driving climate change.
Action already pledged by nations to curb emissions in the next decade leave the world well off track to limit global warming to 1.5C above pre-industrial times, beyond which increasingly severe impacts will be felt.
Talks will take place between nations throughout the conference but world leaders will head to Glasgow on November 1 and 2 for a Leader's Summit.
It comes as the SNP leader urged protesters coming to Glasgow to now cause disruption on the streets.
During First Minster's Question in the Scottish Parliament yesterday, Sturgeon said: "What I would say to people looking to come to protest in Glasgow.
"Come, do it peacefully and do it with a recognition that the people of Glasgow are agreeing to host this conference are suffering some disruption because of that.
"So don't add to that disruption for them."
What time is the briefing?
Nicola Sturgeon will get to the podium at around 3pm and give a statement on the United Nations summit.
Following the statement, the First Minister, Livingstone and Leitch will all take questions from the media about a range of issues from covid fears to the security threat facing Glasgow.
Sturgeon is also likely to be asked about the strike action that is taking place across the city during the conference. Refuse collectors and other council staff will take industrial action due to an ongoing pay and conditions dispute.
Where can I watch it?
The briefing from the First Minister will be streamed live on the Scottish Government's Twitter feed.
