Egypt's foreign minister urged world leaders and negotiators to deliver on past pledges to battle climate change ahead of this month's UN summit.

Sameh Shoukry, the president of the COP27 climate change conference to be held in the Egyptian resort town of Sharm el-Sheikh between November 6 and 18, said Wednesday participants should aim to take “meaningful and tangible steps" to implement the 2015 Paris climate accord.
