The conference will be hosted by Egypt, which holds the COP27 presidency. Egypt's vision is to move from negotiations and planning to implementation.
At COP27, parties will seek to accelerate global climate action while making sure no one is left behind.
The EU delegation will be led by European Council President Charles Michel and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen.
COP27 goals
This year's climate change conference has four main objectives:
Mitigation: keep the 1.5 degrees global warming target, compared with pre-industrial levels
Adaptation: witness an enhanced global agenda for action on adaptation
Finance: review progress on the delivery of USD 100 billion per year by 2025 to help developing countries deal with the adverse effects of climate change
Collaboration: ensure adequate representation from all relevant stakeholders in COP27, especially vulnerable communities
EU position for COP27
The position of the EU as a whole was agreed by the Council on 24 October 2022. In its conclusions, the Council stressed that global ambition must increase substantially to keep the 1.5°C objective within reach, and called for:
collective strengthening of nationally determined contributions
all parties to close the book on unabated coal through a phasedown and end inefficient fossil fuel subsidies
all countries to scale up efforts to mobilise finance to support climate action
The EU is also determined to work together with all parties to:
foster the discussion on the future of UNFCCC
discuss sustainable implementation of climate action in the agricultural sector
enable the implementation of the Glasgow Work Programme on Action for Climate Empowerment
address the gender dimension
