COP27 diary: see what was highlighted on the 2th day of the Climate Summit

A COP27 began this Sunday (6) with a demonstration of harmony: the Egyptian hosts negotiated an agreement that put the question of losses and damages – the idea that rich countries should pay reparations to poorer nations for the damage caused by global warming – on the agenda for debate.

After hours of intense talks, Egypt's Foreign Minister Sameh Shoukry said negotiators concluded with a compromise; the discussion would focus on “cooperation and facilitation” rather than “responsibility or compensation.”

Then, the world leaders arrived: the UN Secretary General opened the speeches with a warning about the danger that climate change poses to humanity.

António Guterres defended a “climate solidarity pact” between the countries participating in COP27. According to him, this is the remaining alternative to avoid, as a consequence, the “collective suicide” of the planet.

“Our planet is rapidly approaching the tipping point that will make climate chaos irreversible. We are on a road to climate hell with our foot on the accelerator,” said Guterres.

The UN Secretary-General called for a “historic climate solidarity pact” to be made during COP27 work between developed and emerging economies. This pact implies, he said, the expansion of efforts to reduce emissions, in the current decade, thus keeping countries in line with the goal of limiting global warming to 1,5º above pre-industrial temperatures.

Next, it was the turn of the president of the United Arab Emirates, Mohammad bin Zayed Al Nahyan, step up to the microphone. The country is next to host a COP, the Dubai climate conference, in 2023.

Al Nahyan said that the UAE is known as a responsible energy provider and will continue to be so long as the world needs oil and gas, but that climate change is a serious issue and that our children's future depends on the steps we take today .

the french president Emmanuel Macron took the opportunity to chide the US and China, the world's two biggest carbon emitters, for failing to approve enough climate aid and finance for poorer countries.

“We need the United States and China to step up,” Macron said upon arriving in Sharm el-Sheikh.

The German Chancellor Gerhard Scholz he arrived determined to convince his colleagues that his country's energy crisis had not diminished Berlin's desire to achieve its climate goals.

Also passing through the microphone this Monday (7): former US vice president and Nobel Peace Prize winner Al Gore; Barbados Prime Minister Mia Mottley; the king of Jordan, Abdullah II bin Al-Hussein; Pakistani envoy Nabeel Munir; William Ruto, President of Kenya and Rishi Sunak, British Prime Minister.
