Today Jason and I will provide a high level overview of COP27. COP aka the Conference of Parties is a United Nations conference on climate change where over 35,000 participants, including over 100 heads of States and Governments, meet to discuss climate change problems and solutions. The goal is to meet the Pair Climate Accord of limiting the increase of global temperatures to 2 degrees C with the hopeful target being 1.5 degrees C. This was a two week event that took place in early November in Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt.
