| Summary/Abstract |
Humankind and its quest for development has brought the planet at the verge of facing existential crisis. Loss of biodiversity, disturbed heat budget of earth, imbalanced ecosystem equilibrium and unstable carbon cycle are all consequences to massive and unsustainable industrialisation and greenhouse gas emissions from vehicular exhaust, agriculture and burning of fossil fuels. Realising the threats and inevitability of climate change, a momentum was built towards climate action which included climate governance, mitigation, adaptation and climate finances. This paper focuses on the 2022 climate summit held in Egypt (COP 27) which aims to bring climate action and collaborate to fight climate emergency. Developing strategies for decarbonisation, emission reduction and setting up long term and affordable climate finance mechanisms to facilitate capacity building and devolution of resources for efforts in mitigation and adaptation against climate change.
