The Day 5 of the Cop27 climate talks at Sharm El-Sheikh in Egypt a lot of importance is given to science and research and the role of the youth in tackling the climate crisis.
There have been negotiations revolving around loss and damage and climate finance including long-term finance, while informal consultations included discussions on the Global Goal on Adaptation.
Numerous discussions highlighted the role of science, data and research in studying and finding solutions for adapting to and mitigating climate change.
“Science plays a key role in informing the climate process, providing critical evidence and numbers to build the case for action and the urgency of implementation,” said COP27 president Sameh Shoukry, at the opening session. “We hope that all the participants in our thematic day on science leave with a stronger desire for finding science-based solutions and plan for implementation that leaves no one behind.”
As part of Science Day at COP27, Egypt launched its first Vulnerability Assessment Map, which was informed by data from the IPCC. The Global Stocktake Climate Datathon discussed the role of data in the Global Stocktake, to achieve the objectives of the Paris Agreement. At another session, “Uniting Global Scientific Research Efforts to Tackle Climate Change”, the key takeaway was a call for policy makers to use scientific research to help move from assessment to implementation. The Presidency also launched a One Health Initiative at the session, “Health and Climate Change: One Health for All: One Vision and One Response”.
