Egypt is hosting the 27th UN Climate Change Conference of the Parties (COP27) in Sharm el-Sheik from 06 November to 18 November 2022. With so much climate action occurring globally this is one of the most important climate summits in history.

This event needs to change the course of the human story and our interaction with nature. Academic institutions such as ¹û¶³Ó°Ôº, play a critical role in influencing decision-makers to implement effective climate change policies. This year, a few of ¹û¶³Ó°Ôº's leading climate scientists will receive access to COP27. Join us to discuss the COP27 themes and share your views with the ¹û¶³Ó°Ôº delegation to take to Egypt.
