COP 27

Don’t Let Wreckage of COP 27 Distract from Climate Wins

We need the UN process to work. Fossil fuels still have to be phased down. But the smaller, faster wins are everywhere. It’s time to scale them up.

Looking back over the wreckage of this year’s United Nations climate summit, it’s easy to miss the good news staring right back at us: We have more than enough to do over the next year, without counting on next year’s COP 28 conference to save us.

This year’s negotiating marathon, COP 27, delivered a stunning victory wrapped in a wider disaster. After 30 years of diplomacy, countries agreed on a process—a “facility”, in COP-speak—to fund the massive loss and damage facing the world’s poorest countries due to the impacts of climate change.

But that was all. Now technical experts have to sort out the details of the loss and damage deal…

‘The Clock is Ticking’ as COP 27 Gets Under Way in Egypt

November 7, 2022 – The Energy Mix

The COP 27 climate summit got under way this morning in Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt with a dire warning from United Nations Secretary General António Guterres, calling for faster action and greater ambition on the “defining issue of our age.”

“The clock is ticking,” Guterres told participants. “We are in the fight of our lives. And we are losing. Greenhouse gas emissions keep growing. Global temperatures keep rising. And our planet is fast approaching tipping points that will make climate chaos irreversible.”

He added: “We are on a highway to climate hell with our foot on the accelerator.”


Let's take action together in 2022

Climate Action Muskoka is an inclusive, non-partisan group of citizens concerned about climate change in Muskoka who believe in working together to inspire individuals, groups, and every level of government to make the dramatic changes needed to meet this historic challenge.
