Cairo, November 10 (RHC)-- In news from the COP27 UN climate conference in Sharm el-Sheikh, the group Global Witness found the number of delegates linked to the fossil fuel industry is 25% higher than at last year’s COP meeting.  That’s more than 600 people — higher than the combined number of delegates from the 10 countries most impacted by the climate crisis.

Earlier this week, activists staged a number of protests at COP27.  Youth activist Lucky Abeng of the Pan African Climate Justice Alliance demanded rich counties pay poor nations for loss and damage caused by climate disasters — like recent floods in Nigeria that killed more than 600 people while displacing over a million.  “We want world leaders to take this agenda very seriously, because our future as young people is at stake.  We contribute less than 4% to the global greenhouse gas emissions, but yet the worst impact of climate change is upon us here in Africa.”
