Egypt on Sunday urged the African states to hold a meeting to coordinate the continent’s stances in preparation for the COP27 Climate Summit, which it will host in Sharm el-Sheikh next November.

During a workshop held by Morocco via videoconference on “The challenges of mobilizing capital markets to finance the transition to a sustainable energy market,” Egyptian Ambassador to Ethiopia and the African Union Mohamed Omar Gad said Cairo invited the African states to hold the consultative session on the issues related to climate and energy before the Climate Summit.
