The Arab Republic of Egypt hosted the 27th UN Climate Change Conference of the Parties (COP27) in Sharm El-Sheikh in November 2022. COP27 goals and vision are for inclusive, rules-based, and ambitious, substantive outcomes, commensurate with the challenge based on science and guided by principles building on agreements, decisions, pledges, and commitments, from RIO 1992 to Glasgow 2021. We seek to accelerate global climate action through emissions reduction, scaled-up adaptation efforts, and enhanced flows of appropriate finance. We recognize that 'just transition' remains a priority for developing countries worldwide.
