SHARM EL SHEIKH , EGYPT , November 11, 2022 /EINPresswire.com/ — From 6 to 18 November 2022, Heads of State, Ministers, and negotiators, along with leading climate minds are meeting in the Egyptian coastal city of Sharm el-Sheikh for the largest annual gathering on climate action. The 2022 United Nations Climate Change Conference, more commonly referred to as Conference of the Parties of the UNFCCC, or COP27, is the 27th United Nations Climate Change conference.

COP27 builds on the outcomes of COP26 to deliver action on an array of issues critical to reducing greenhouse gas emissions, building resilience, and adapting to the inevitable impacts of climate change.

Addressing the global stage at the opening of COP27 on Monday, the UN Secretary General Guterres remarked, “This UN Climate Conference is a reminder that the answer is in our hands and the clock is ticking”.

Faced with a growing energy crisis, record greenhouse gas concentrations, and increasing extreme weather events, the “climate agenda” seeks renewed solidarity between countries, to deliver on the landmark Paris Agreement, for people and the planet. The Innovation Zone (Climate Action) seated between the arena of discussions at the UNFCCC and runs in parallel to the negotiations led by the COP27 Egyptian Presidency encourages inclusive cross-sector public-private partnerships to address climate solutions.

Impact-for-SDGs was selected to engage in the Innovation Zone’s Climate Challenge Lab on the 14th of November 2022 as part of the “The 27 Climate Challenges of COP27” across the COP campaign. The high-level convening of 30 selected global leaders will address the forum topic around investing through a UN SDG lens with a cross-sector discussion from leading industry experts across financial services, industry, and government to showcase the catalytic solutions they are bringing to the table.

Some of the key speakers at the Innovation zone this week were:

Secretary John Kerry, US Special Presidential Envoy for Climate,
H.E. Dr. Al-Mashat, Minister of International Cooperation, Arab Republic of Egypt
Børge Brende President, World Economic Forum Geneva

The high-level convening on the 14th of November 2022 at the Climate Challenge Lab will feature industry leaders such as:
