From 6 to 18 November 2022, a hundred or so heads of state and government from around the world are meeting in Sharm El-Sheikh, Egypt, for the 27th United Nations Conference of the Parties on Climate Change (COP27). The aim is to make progress on the objective of limiting greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions responsible for global warming. The issue of climate financing for developing countries, particularly in Africa, will also be on the table. Africa is responsible for only 4% of global emissions, but the continent is suffering the most from the effects of climate change.
