Many of the world’s heads of state and environmental leaders are currently meeting in Egypt for the climate change summit, COP27. COP stands for “Conference of the Parties” – that is, the countries that have signed up to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). Four key goals of the conference are: mitigation, adaptation (as a result of extreme weather events), climate finance and collaboration.
All eyes will be on whether countries will be able to agree more ambitious targets to reduce greenhouse gas emissions than those in their current Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs). Since COP26, only 20 of the 193 nations had submitted an updated NDC target (at 20 October 2022). The energy crisis brought about by the war in Ukraine may see some countries increase their use of coal and a resurgence of investment in fossil fuels that will result in NDC targets not being updated until COP28.
Many of the leading market analysts including Morningstar and Moody’s have said that in the medium- to long-term the trajectory is still for the private and public sectors to keep investing in the net zero transition so that we do not miss the 2050 target.
