The COP27 United Nations climate change conference has kicked off in Egypt

COP27, the 2022 UN climate conference, has officially started in Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt.

Running through until November 18, leaders from almost every country in the world are meeting to discuss global ambition on tackling climate change.

Over the coming days, they will debate initiatives and global efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

There will also be a strong focus on climate financing, innovation and working together to keep global warming to the Paris Agreement’s 1.5°C.

For the first time since the adoption of the UN climate convention, Parties agreed to introduce #LossAndDamage funding as an agenda item at the climate conference. (1/2) #COP27 pic.twitter.com/Ct8Q6WVnd0

Simon Stiell, the UN Climate change executive Secretary launched the meeting with a message for leaders.

“The urgency of the climate crisis demands that we do things differently. Let us use COP27 to find common ground, so that we can reflect this urgency in our actions.”

As @unfccc, we will be holding people to account – be they Presidents, Prime Ministers or CEOs.

Our policies, our businesses, our infrastructure, our actions, must all align with the #ParisAgreement.
