conference schedule
Topics for the leaders’ roundtables to be held on November 7 and 8 will include green hydrogen development, water and food security, achieving a just energy transition to renewable energy, and vulnerable communities, Aboulmagd explained.
Egypt is working to put “loss and damage” — compensation to climate-vulnerable countries that are already suffering the consequences of extreme weather events — on the summit’s formal agenda.
At last year’s COP26, held in Glasgow, the United States and the European Union rejected calls for a fund to offset such losses.
The COP27 agenda will be decided in the first days of the summit, but on September 26, in one of the preparatory meetings, a provisional agenda was presented that includes issues related to ambition and the application of mitigation measures .
Adaptation-related issues are also expected to be addressed. In addition, the Warsaw International Mechanism for Loss and Damage related to the Repercussions of Climate Change will be discussed.
