The 27th conference of the parties to the Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) will take place in Sharm El-Sheikh, Egypt, from November 6 to 18, 2022. COP27, as it will be known, will be attended by about 40,000 people, including representatives of the 196 member countries, a huge media contingent and thousands of environmentalist campaigners.
The agenda for the conference is typical of those for other international organizations in that it will deal with many “housekeeping” items and reports from subgroups that have been meeting in dozens of places since the last conference, COP 26, was held in Glasgow, Scotland. Much of the real business of the conference will take place in the backrooms in which relatively small numbers of senior political advisors and UN secretariat members will argue over the key issues that are really in play.
These do not concern the plans of the countries to reduce greenhouse gas emissions or to set new targets for emissions reductions. They concern money. Lots of it.
In the lead-up to the Glasgow conference, the developing countries declared their expectations for how much the richer countries (mainly in the Group of 20) should contribute annually to support climate mitigation and adaptation in the developing countries. For years, the agreed target was $100 billion per year up to 2025, a target that was never reached. It is estimated that in 2021, the richer countries were actually blackmailed into providing about $75 billion in various forms of bilateral and multilateral climate aid to attack this greatest of all scientific frauds.
