Sisi: Sharm El-Sheikh Must be Well-Prepared for COP27

President Abdel Fattah El Sisi called Saturday for providing Sharm El-Sheikh with all the necessary financial resources to get prepared for the Conference of the Parties (COP27) due to take place in November.

The presidential directives were given during a meeting with Mostafa Madbouly, Prime Minister, and a number of ministers, according to Presidency Spokesperson Bassam Rady.

"The meeting dealt with following up the work of the Higher Ministerial Committee to prepare for Egypt's hosting of the COP27 World Climate Summit next November in Sharm El-Sheikh," said Rady.

Sisi also asked to provide all the necessary financial resources to prepare the city of Sharm El-Sheikh at the highest level and to continue the various concerned parties to strengthen their efforts to host and direct this global event in a way that reflects Egypt’s regional and international position.

Sisi stressed the country's huge efforts to achieve green transformation, protect the environment and increase the use of clean energy through various national projects related to natural gas, electricity, solar energy, wind energy, green hydrogen and environmentally friendly transportation.

The ministerial committee presented the most important axes of the upcoming Sharm el-Sheikh summit and the desired results, as well as the ongoing coordination in this context with the current British presidency of the conference, in addition to the Egyptian vision related to the substantive aspects, represented in moving the summit’s work from the stage of commitments to the implementation stage and advancing national and African concerns on climate change issues.
