UN climate change conference-COP27 begins in Egypt | In photos
The United Nations Climate Change Conference, known as COP27, opened at Sharm El Sheikh in Egypt on Sunday amid growing calls for rich countries to compensate poorer nations most vulnerable to climate change. The November 6-18 gathering of nearly 200 nations will be dominated by the growing need of virtually blameless poor nations for money to cope not just with future impacts, but those already claiming lives and devastating economies.
