CAIRO – 2 October 2021: US Climate Envoy John Kerry revealed that Egypt has been already chosen as the nominee to host the next session of the UN Climate Change Conference (COP 27) in 2022. This comes as a country is chosen each year to represent a different region of the world and host the COP meeting as the president of the conference. At a virtual meeting of the Heads of State and Government on Climate Change on slides of the 76th session of the UN General Assembly (UNGA 76) earlier this month, President Abdel Fattah El Sisi called for the necessity to seriously deal with any unilateral measures that contribute to exacerbating the consequences of climate change. “This sets within the framework of adaptation to climate change, which is a top priority for developing countries, especially in the African continent,” he said. “Climate change has become a terrifying reality that calls for an immediate action to confront it,” he said.
