Prince Moulay Rachid traveled this Monday to Sharm El Sheikh, Egypt to represent King Mohammed VI during the COP 27.
On his arrival at the International Conference Center, Prince Moulay Rachid was welcomed by Egyptian President Abdel Fattah Al-Sissi and UN Secretary-General António Guterres.
“COP27 will also be an opportunity to showcase Moroccan success stories, particularly in renewable energy projects that make Morocco a leader in the Arab and African world, and also an occasion to take further advantage of the climate finance offered,” said MAP.
Morocco, which hosted COP22 in Marrakech in 2016 has a strong presence at this global event and is highly committed to cut gas emissions by 2030.
Some 110 leaders and heads of state and government are set to make national statements on addressing climate change issues and their countries’ plans to increase their emission reduction commitments.
The Summit provides an opportunity to discuss how to mobilize financial resources and investment to address climate change, reduce emissions, adapt to its impacts, and build resilience.
COP 27 prioritizes country contributions to climate finance. This includes meeting the $100 billion pledged annually in adaptation funding from developed to low-income countries.
This conference will also examine the effects of climate change in Africa and develop visions for addressing these challenges through science and financing.
The climate event kicked off Sunday in Egypt with nearly 200 countries struggling to outpace increasingly dire climate impacts in a world upended by war and economic turmoil, according to AFP.
