A chance for the climate
From 6 November, Sharm El-Sheikh, Egypt will host the 27th Conference of the Parties to the UNFCCC (COP27), a meeting where countries fulfill their pledges and commitments towards delivering the objectives of the Paris Agreement to enhance the implementation of the Convention and all stakeholders discuss the global challenge: climate change.
It will be an opportunity to discuss and learn about the main issues surrounding the climate crisis and the need for decisive action and effective cooperation.
Mitigation, adaptation, financing, loss and damage, but also resilience for all countries and communities, especially developing ones, are some of the challenges and opportunities related to climate action.
Therefore, there will be several thematic days with focused discussions, side events, roundtables and interactive meetings: the programme brings together governmental and non-governmental stakeholders, promoting collaboration between them to achieve greenhouse gas emission reductions and help ensure a just transition to a zero-emission economy that alleviates poverty for a sustainable future.
Moreover, for the first time in history, COP27 will host a Mediterranean Pavilion that will seek to highlight both the urgent challenges facing the region and the innovative solutions already developed.
The Mediterranean Pavilion is a coalition of like-minded partners: the Union for the Mediterranean, the PRIMA Foundation, and UNEP–MAP, along with a group of relevant organisations and a scientific committee, led by the Mediterranean Experts on Climate and environmental Change (MedECC) network, which gathers 600 scientists, and who produced the first scientific assessment on climate and environmental change in the region.
Save the date: 6 to 18 November 2022 in Sharm el-Sheikh at the Climate Change Conference.
