Cop27: A warming world in crisis
World leaders convening in Egypt for the annual global climate conference will confront the increasingly urgent global warming problem while battered by economic and geopolitical storms.
What’s Cop27?
“Cop” refers to the annual Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). These meetings address progress on global efforts to battle climate change, and are attended by heads of state, ministers, climate activists, civil society representatives and business leaders. Cop27, which will be the 27th such conference, will be held from Nov 6 to 18 in Sharm El Sheikh, Egypt.
