More than 120 world leaders will come together to discuss ways to tackle climate change at the 2022 UN Climate Change Conference (COP27) in Sharm El Sheikh, Egypt, from Sunday.

The annual summit sees climate change negotiations and decisions made to limit global warming and accelerate the green energy transition.

At the summit, coming a year after COP26 in Glasgow, the UAE will highlight its climate actions, solutions and achievements as well as its preparations to host COP28 next year, the state news agency WAM said.
