Art meets climate activism at Cop27’s ‘mini-expo’ – The National

As climate negotiators at Egypt’s Cop27 try to thrash out a deal on divisive subjects such as loss and damage, there is a markedly different atmosphere in the conference's Blue Zone.

There are 141 pavilions in five large buildings that make up the UN-managed area, a maze of countries, non-governmental organisations and coalitions.

Each pavilion has its own schedule of events. The sounds of chatter and back-to-back panel discussions fill the air.
