Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi in his message stated that the United Nations Climate Change Conference 2022 (COP27) is an opportunity to show unity against the existential threat of this scourge.

Moreover, El-Sisi also stressed that the #ClimateChange problem can only be overcome through a concerted action at global level.
 

He assured that Egypt, as chair of the Conference, will spare no effort to move from the negotiation to the implementation of the projects.

He recalled that the holding of the COP27 will mark the 30th anniversary of the adoption of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change.

In those three decades, the world has made great progress in the fight against the scourge and its negative impacts on the planet, he emphasized.
