As the world counts down to COP-27 at Sharm El-Sheikh, this session will assess the state of climate action that countries have taken since COP-26. Are we making progress or are we backtracking? Will developed countries finally meet the $100 billion climate financing promised? What are the diplomatic challenges ahead of COP-27? Will geopolitical divisions jeopardize progress of global climate cooperation?
