What is COP27?
COP27 is the 2022 edition of the UN Climate Change Conference taking place in Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt. It started Nov. 6 and will continue until Nov. 18. It is the 27th edition of the yearly COP, short for "Conference of the Parties". Attending the meeting are heads of state, ministers, and various participants from 197 countries and international institutions. This year's meeting hopes to build on what had been achieved so far in the earlier meetings. Specifically, negotiators will work to keep the goal of limiting global temperature rise to 1.5 degrees Celsius within reach. Special emphasis is on Africa, one of the most vulnerable regions in the world, with some 20 million people facing food insecurity in east Africa alone because of drought, according to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC),
