Shoukry: Egypt will spare no effort to confront climate change

Foreign Minister and president-designate of the United Nations (UN) Climate Change Summit (COP27) Sameh Shoukry said Egypt would spare no effort to encourage all countries to take concrete and practical action to address climate change.

He added, “We look forward to the Climate Summit being a milestone in the collective and multilateral action. The Climate Summit (COP27) will provide the best conditions to confront climate change.”

He explained that “the pattern that humanity has followed since the beginning of the industrial revolution until this day is no longer sustainable.”

“Everyone will lose if one team thinks it can gain at the expense of another in terms of climate,” he added.

“We will complete the path to implement the goals that were agreed upon at the COP26 summit in Glasgow last year,” Shoukry said.
