During the conference, a focus will be placed on implementing the decisions made last year during COP26, as well as creating an international community working together against climate change.
As the conference progresses, look out for REI’s coverage of the conference. As part of our mission to promote knowledge sharing, we will bring you our insights on the discussions, the decisions made and analysis of what it means for the future.
The Conference of the Parties (COP) is an event bringing world leaders together to focus on the climate crisis. Officials from 197 nations across the globe will convene in order to make decisions and take action on environmental policies.
COP has provided an opportunity to focus political discussions on the climate since 1995. This year, the conference will take place from 6th-18th November in Egypt.
A look back to COP26
A number of significant climate decisions were taken last year in Glasgow during COP26. However, since then, several unprecedented global events have taken place to divert attention away from environmental policy.
For a summary of the discussions had and decisions taken last year, you can read the Institute’s COP26 overview summary.
As we now look towards COP27 in a few short weeks, the Institute has charted the progress made over the year since the last conference; analysing some of the successes and a few of the failures, as well as predictions for the upcoming conference.
