Next week, the Al-Ahram Hebdo will present a special coverage of the conference from within Sharm El-Sheikh.

COP27 kicked off today in the Red Sea resort city of Sharm El-Sheikh, with more than 41,000 people, including heads of state and government and media professionals, present at the inauguration.

The conference comes in response to an urgent global need to cut emissions and to boost climate action.

In a post on his official Facebook page, Egypt’s President Abdel-Fattah El-Sisi said that the conference is being held at a very sensitive and crucial time when the world is "facing existential and unprecedented crises that impact our planet's survival and [humanity’s] ability to live in it."
