The United Nations Climate Summit has been postponed until 2021 due to coronavirus.
Climate talks were due to take place in Scotland in November.
The conference is one of the world's largest diplomatic gatherings and has more than 26,000 expected attendees.
Last year's conference in Madrid ended without an agreement or framework for a global carbon market, reports Bloomberg.
Countries at this year's talks were due to present their latest and more ambitious greenhouse-gas emission goals for the first time since the Paris Agreement in 2015.
It was due to go ahead in November at Glasgow's SEC arena.
The Scottish Government has announced the area will be turned into a field hospital to treat coronavirus victims.

The First Minister Nicola Sturgeon made the announcement during her speech earlier this week.
It will be a fully run NHS facility.
The site, which normally hosts exhibitions, shows, conferences and gigs, was closed to the public earlier this month because of the outbreak of the deadly COVID-19 strain.
The Glasgow complex was identified as the best site for a temporary hospital due to it's central location, transportation links and size.
The building will house 300 beds within a fortnight and will hold more than 1000 beds at full capacity.
Meanwhile in London, the NHS Nightingale hospital has opened at London's Excel Centre.
Officials have told those who signed up to work in the Canning Town facility between 50% and 80% of patients who require a ventilator will not survive, a volunteer told Mail Online.
Although it opened today, the huge hospital, which was built at lightning pace over the past week, has a reported shortage of doctors.
Senior nurse practitioners have been left in charge of some wards due to staff shortages caused by a lack of testing for medics, MailOnline reported.
Number 10 defended its testing regime for NHS staff today after much criticism.
The Prime minister's official spokesman said that more than 2,000 front-line medics in England had been assessed.
"We are very clear that we want more testing to be carried out," he added.
Despite building work only beginning last Wednesday NHS Nightingale was ready to take patients today.
The hospital has 4,000 beds which will mostly be taken up by younger sufferers - making it the largest critical care facility in the world.
It will be used to treat Covid-19 patients who have been transferred from other intensive care units across London.
