In an interview with FRANCE 24 in Strasbourg, the chairman of the environment committee at the European Parliament reacted to the recent COP27 climate summit in Egypt. Pascal Canfin hailed the deal on "loss and damage" for vulnerable countries as "better than nothing" and welcomed the fact that China has been asked to contribute to it.
The COP27 conference in Charm-el-Cheikh, Egypt wrapped up with no major agreement to accelerate the global green transition. Countries renewed their commitment to contain the rise in temperatures to 1.5 °C above pre-industrial levels, but with no concrete plan to do so.
