UN COP27 Climate Summit Starts in Egypt

Subscribe
The UN COP27 climate summit kicked off on November 6 in Egypt after a year of extreme weather disasters that spurred calls for rich industrial nations to compensate poorer countries with $100 billion.
Japan, one of the largest providers of funding, provided $13 billion. Funding from Japan and France mostly consisted of loans, while funding from the United States, Canada, Australia and Britain came in the form of grants.
More than 100 world leaders and diplomats from nearly 200 countries gathered at the Red Sea resort for the Nov. 6-18 summit. The main goal of the COP27 summit is to discuss ways to prevent the rise in global temperatures caused by greenhouse gas emissions, as well as set out new ambitions on tackling the climate crisis.
Here are some highlights of the UN COP27 climate summit in our photo gallery.
