Egypt Climate Summit

UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak on Sunday welcomed the agreement reached at the COP27 climate summit in Egypt, but warned "more must be done".

The European Union said Saturday it would rather have "no result" than a bad one at UN climate talks, after rejecting a proposal from summit host Egypt as insufficiently ambitious on reducing carbon emissions.

U.S. Special Climate Envoy John Kerry has tested positive for COVID-19 at the COP27 climate summit in Egypt, but continues to work by phone, the State Department said on Friday.

A first formal draft of the UN climate summit deal in Egypt was published on Friday, yet again leaving out India's call for phase down of all fossil fuels and without any proposal on loss and damage funding.

Rich nations are making a push to include language such as "major emitters" and "top emitters" in the cover text of the ongoing UN climate summit in Egypt which is not acceptable to India, a member of the Indian delegation said.

Supported by other developing countries, India blocked an attempt by rich nations to focus on all top 20 emitters of carbon dioxide during discussions on the 'Mitigation Work Programme' at the ongoing UN climate summit in Egypt, sources said on Monda

As negotiators from 194 parties started working out a draft cover text at the UN climate summit in Egypt, India today proposed that the talks wrap up with a decision to "phase down all fossil fuels" including oil and gas, sources said.

Wheelchair struggles, scarce drinking water, $15 sandwiches and hotel price-gouging at the COP27 climate summit have sparked anger and forced host country Egypt into damage-control mode, participants at the two-week meet said.

Countries representing over half of the global GDP, including India and the US, on Friday set out a 12-month action plan at the UN climate summit in Egypt to help make clean technologies cheaper and more accessible everywhere to fight climate change.

Numerous posts on social media criticised delegates for travelling by private jet to the COP27 in Egypt -- the latest in a series of recurrent claims targeting the UN climate summit.

The US midterms made waves Wednesday at a UN climate summit on the shores of Egypt, with activists urging President Joe Biden to take bolder action against global warming regardless of the result.

The diplomats and world leaders now gathered in Egypt for the annual United Nations climate summit are tasked, in some sense, with holding the global average temperature below 1.5 degrees Celsius of warming.

Highly polluting emerging economies including China and India should pay into a climate compensation fund to help countries rebuild after climate change-driven disasters, the prime minister of island nation Antigua and Barbuda said on Tuesday.

The report, released ahead of talks on climate change finance at the COP27 summit in Egypt, said the funding was required to cut emissions, boost resilience, deal with damage from climate change and restore nature and land.

Calling climate finance "a mirage", Environment Minister Bhupender Yadav said climate adaptation in the form of early warning dissemination is key to safeguarding lives and livelihoods from natural hazards.
