Strengthening position at COP 27

Western scientific knowledge and technical legal language always dominate the decision-making process.

There are currently 197 members of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). They meet annually at the Conference of Parties (COP) to negotiate new agreements and evaluate the actions taken to fulfil their past promises. The UNFCCC is the only international regime that looks after climate and plays a catalytic role in spurring climate actions. COP is the supreme decision-making body of the UNFCCC. The first COP was held in Berlin, Germany in 1995, and the 27th session of the COP will be held in Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt, in November this year.
