An event that brings together Heads of State, ministers, political figures, members of NGOs that fight for the respect of the environment and indigenous peoples, the COP 2022 aims to find urgent solutions to climate change, which is a major challenge for planet Earth. On the agenda of this meeting, negotiations, commitments and measures to mitigate global warming whose effects are already devastating in the four parts of the world.
For Africans, this Cop 27, which is taking place on the continent, should be a way to remind the international community that poor countries that emit less greenhouse gases and are the most exposed should receive considerable funds to finance adaptation to climate change.

“Our planet is sending a distress signal, change is happening with catastrophic, devastating lives and livelihoods on every continent,” underlines Antonio Guterres, the UN Secretary General. An assertion that allows people to understand the climatic dangers that the world faces. Sameh Choukri, the Egyptian Minister of Foreign Affairs, advises the representatives of each country to implement the commitments made, to save humanity and the planet.
