Egypt's Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced that Luxor will host a climate conference, which will discuss the COP 27's loss and damage resolution, before the COP28 that is set to be held in the UAE in November of this year. The conference will implement the resolutions that were passed during the COP27 UN Climate Change Conference in Sharm El Sheikh last November. The announcement came during a presser on Tuesday between Egypt's Foreign Minister Sameh Shoukry with Denmark's climate minister Dan Jørgensen on the sidelines of the ministerial conference on climate change in Copenhagen. Shoukry noted that countries have not committed yet to the 1.5-degree Celsius pledge, adding that it was not too late for each country to do so based on its national abilities. He further stressed on the importance of implementing the pledge made by the developed nations to support developing ones with $100 billion in climate finance.
