The 2022 United Nations Climate Change Conference, more commonly referred to as COP27 set for early November in Egypt, will be a chance for developing countries to push for climate justice. Developing nations suffer the brunt of environmental damage largely created by the developed world, yet their contribution to greenhouse gas emissions is less than 4 per cent.

The event will bring together both public- and private-sector leaders to build on the success of COP26 in Glasgow and turn commitments into action to achieve the goals of the Paris Agreement.
