United Nations presented in its report that there is an urgent need to address the ‘climate chaos’, in COP27
In November 2022, Egypt is hosting the 27th Conference of Parties (COP) in Sharm el-Sheikh with the goal of further taking the progress ahead and addressing the global challenge of climate change.
140 leaders from all over the world will attend this conference and speak about their nation’s stance regarding climate change.
They all will make five minutes speeches in which they will tell the listeners what they expect from the meeting.
More than 40,000 people will attend the conference.
In 2022, a Global Climate Report was released in which the scientists claim that climate change is happening on a faster rate than ever.
According to the scientists, the world temperature increased by 1.15C since pre-industrial times.
They also stated that the last years were the warmest years the world have ever witnessed.
And it is evident from the events that took place recently.
These chaotic events involve recent flooding in Pakistan and Nigeria, and extreme heat wave in India and Europe.
The secretary general of UN, Antonio Guterres said that ‘the planet is sending a distress signal.’
The COP27 President Egyptian Foreign Minister, Sameh Shoukry called for an action and advised the world leaders that ‘It is inherent on us all in Sharm el-Sheikh to demonstrate our recognition of the magnitude of the challenges we face and our steadfast resolve to overcome it.’
The COP27 conference will take place on Monday and Tuesday.
