The global climate conference continues to be a blame game platform between the underdeveloped global south and the more industrialized global north for the failure to tame climate change.
The 27th Conference of Parties, COP27, happening at Sharm el Sheik, Egypt has attracted more than 35,000 participants from about 200 countries including head of states and governments, academics and entrepreneurs, to take action towards achieving the climate goals of the Paris Agreement and other deals.
All the speakers agree that Africa contributes the least to the global carbon emissions, and that it is among the most vulnerable to climate disasters.
Egypt’s President Abdel Fattah el Sisi said however, that the views of the leaders around the world are not supported by their political will to fight climate change. He says the current generation of leaders must ensure that the actions of the world today are not paid for by the future generations. END
