President Abdel Fattah El Sisi will deliver a speech on the Egyptian position and its pillars towards climate change issues, according to Presidency Spokesperson Bassam Rady.
He reaffirmed Egypt's readiness to host the next conference on climate change (COP27) next year.
Sisi will take part today, Monday, in the high-level segment of the United Nations Climate Change Summit (COP26) in Glasgow.
Rady added that the global climate issue is pided into two main parts; A section is specific to the industrial countries concerned with the emissions of large industries, which led to an increase in the temperature of the planet and global warming, and a section related to the suffering of developing countries from the repercussions of the climate change and ways to confront them.
He noted that there are pledges by the major industrialized countries towards developing countries to provide assistance to overcome the repercussions of climate change, manifesting that there are demands from developing countries for major countries to abide by international standards to reduce emissions, especially greenhouse gases.
"There is another session with a panel discussion in which President Sisi will participate, in addition to holding bilateral meetings with British Prime Minister Boris Johnson," Rady said.

On the bilateral talks between Sisi and the Austrian Chancellor, Rady noted that the discussions focused on working to increase Austrian investments in Egypt in the large national projects that Egypt is currently witnessing in light of the modern infrastructure that Egypt enjoys.
He said that the Austrian chancellor, during his meeting yesterday with Sisi, praised Egypt's efforts towards illegal immigration, combating terrorism, extremist ideology, spreading the values of tolerance, acceptance of others and freedom of belief, and new concepts, especially in light of the president's leadership in Egypt.
