Perspectives on the 2022 UN Conference of Parties (COP) 27

Session ID#: 159828

Session Description:
The United Nations Conference of Parties, commonly referred to as COP, is held (almost) every year and provides an important venue for the international community to come together to discuss climate change—the state-of-the-science and climate policy. In November 2022, the 27th session is scheduled to be held in Sharm El-Sheikh, Egypt and has a goal raised by the U.S.-Egypt Climate Working Group to “focus less on raising targets to cut emissions and more on getting climate funding to developing countries—both to decarbonize and deal with the impacts of a warmer planet.” This AGU session will feature reflections from those within the AGU community who were able to attend and otherwise actively engage in activities related to the conference.
