The International Climate Change Summit 2022 will be held in Egypt from November 6 to November 18, 2022. “On every climate front, the only solution is decisive action in solidarity,” the UN General Secretary, António Guterres, has said ahead of the conference. The event will be the 27th edition of the summit. The first edition was held in the year 1995 in Berlin, Germany.
The UN is amplifying its efforts to battle climate change, and the upcoming summit can be considered a very important event from where a number of messages regarding the effects of global warming can be delivered to representatives from across the world.
While speaking about the ill effects of climate change, Guterres said on the International Day for Disaster Risk Reduction, “Climate disasters are hurting countries and economies like never before”.
There has been some controversies about Egypt being declared the host of COP27. Many human rights organisations, including Amnesty International, have come out to criticise the country about its treatment of members of the LGBTQ community.
According to Amnesty International’s Middle East and North Africa Research and Advocacy Director, Philip Luther, “COP27 is a key moment for addressing the climate emergency – a human rights crisis of unprecedented proportions. Given Egypt’s record of stifling critical voices and cracking down on independent organizations, there are growing concerns that civil society actors will be unable to engage freely with each other and conference participants such as government and corporate representatives to debate crucial issues for the future of the planet.”
The 28th edition of the summit is set to be held in Dubai.
