The Conference of the Parties to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP27) is now holding its 27th meeting (UNFCCC) in the coming month.
COP27 is a pivotal point in the fight against climate change. The world is not on target to limit global warming to 1.5C, and recent developments have made the road to achievement much more challenging. Large obstacles have been put in the way of decarbonization and global collaboration on climate due to the covid epidemic, transnational conflicts, Russia’s invasion, and different calamities. The Paris Agreement is currently on the verge of becoming irrelevant.

At COP27, vulnerable states will place stress on developed countries to provide help for loss and damage priority during discussions. This might bring the Paris Agreement into the picture once again and more seriously this time.
