The 2022 United Nations Climate Change Conference or Conference of the Parties of the UNFCCC, more commonly referred to as COP27,[1] was the 27th United Nations Climate Change conference, held from 6 November until 20 November 2022[2] in Sharm El Sheikh, Egypt. It took place under the presidency of Egyptian Minister of Foreign Affairs Sameh Shoukry, with more than 92 heads of state and an estimated 35,000 representatives, or delegates, of 190 countries attending. It was the fifth climate summit held in Africa, and the first since 2016.[3][4]
The conference has been held annually (except 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic)[5] since the first UN climate agreement in 1992. It is used by governments to agree on policies to limit global temperature rises and adapt to impacts associated with climate change.[6] The conference led to the first loss-and-damage fund being created.[7]
