COP27 will take place from 6th - 18th November 2022.
Egypt will host this year’s summit. The city of Sharm el-Sheikh will play host to thousands of delegates and world world leaders
COP is the name given to the annual meeting of world leaders in a climate change capacity. It stands for “conference of parties”, with each delegation representing a party. The number of member countries in the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) has grown over the years and now sits at 195. COP27 will be the 27th summit to take place.
While COP26 saw many new promises made and new commitments promises, COP27 will aim to assess the progress in reaching these goals. In 2021, countries agreed to return yearly with new national determined contributions (NDCs), rather than waiting the five years as agreed upon in the Paris Agreement in 2015. NDCs are steps which each country will take to meet emissions targets. Therefore, COP27 will be the first year in which the new steps will be announced by participating countries. Egyptian COP27 president Sameh Shoukry has also said that he hopes the summit will have a focus on climate finance and mitigation.
