On Thursday, Egypt was officially selected to host the UN Climate Change Conference in November 2022 (UNFCCC COP 27). The selection follows years of significant work on countering climate change.
Several countries around the world had welcomed Egypt’s proposal prior to the decision. Egypt’s proposal to host COP27 was titled ‘Road to COP27…A United Africa for a Resilient Future’.
“The Red Sea resort of Sharm El-Sheikh will host COP27 on behalf of African nations”, President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi said in a speech at the COP26 in Glasgow earlier in November.
