WorldGBC Advancing Net Zero Status Report 2022 COP27: The Africa COP The 27th session of the Conference of the Parties (COP27) to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) will take place in Sharm El-Sheikh in Egypt in November 2022, and is expected to build on progress made at COP26 in Glasgow. Annual COP sessions serve as an opportunity to assess the effectiveness of measures and commitments introduced, or planned to be introduced, by national governments (Parties) to limit climate change, which is critical to climate vulnerable regions across the world. The Paris Agreement requires each Party to prepare, communicate and maintain successive Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) to declare intentions by each country to reduce national greenhouse gas emissions and adapt to the impacts of climate change. Since the Paris Agreement at COP21 in 2015, a legally binding international treaty on climate change, countries across all continents have committed to keeping global warming at 1.5°C - 2°C, in accordance with the recommendations of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).
