Call For Climate Justice

Regarded as a watershed moment, the Conference of the Parties to United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), popularly known as COP-27, kicked off in Egypt, the first such gathering of 193 UN members that took place in the African soil since 2016. This is an opportunity for taking stock of progress on the implementation of environmental pledges made in Glasgow last year. Current conference offers the world’s richest countries the chance to put their money where their mouth is against background of rising global temperatures creating havoc through floods and droughts throughout the world. Simultaneously, the gathering will provide the low- and middle-income countries an opportunity to air their grievances about the climate costs they disproportionately bear.
