In the lead up to COP 27 in Egypt ( NOVEMBER 2022, SHARM EL-SHEIKH), the World Resources Institute has put together a list of 6 priorities for this year’s conference. “It is important to underline these, for upcoming COP27” is the message from European Climate Pact Ambassador – EASD Honorable President :

1) Create a financing mechanism for addressing loss and damage

2) Scale up support for adaptation

3) Strengthen national emissions-reduction targets

4) Assure that the $100 billion climate finance promise will be met and move forward on new commitments

5) Advance the Global Stocktake to set the pace for climate action

6) Convert the treasure trove of Glasgow climate commitments into action

COP27 offers the possibility to foster greater cooperation at a time when the world needs it most. That’s the potential that leaders, governments and businesses should seize.
