COP27 Summit Yields Draft Agreement on Climate Change [1]
This month's COP27 climate summit [3] in Sharm El-Sheikh resulted in a draft agreement on climate change [4] (called a cover decision). At 20 pages, the draft covers several issues, including food and energy crises, emissions, financing, technology, capacity building, cooperation, and periodic review of progress. According to The Guardian [5] (which provides a helpful breakdown of key aspects of the draft), the many placeholders in the draft demonstrate that "some of the most contentious issues . . . have yet to be resolved."
