#COP27Norwood

Egypt has laid out its vision for successful and consensual negotiated outcomes at COP27 as follows:

1. Achieving as much progress as we can across the board on every item under negotiations in a balanced and equitable manner, and based on the rules and principles that govern our collective action to tackle climate change and its impacts. This means delivering a comprehensive, ambitious Mitigation Work Program, achieving and capturing meaningful progress on the Global Goal on Adaptation, addressing the Loss and Damage deficit including through finding a balanced solution to the funding issue, and effectively addressing the climate finance challenge in a manner which creates trust in the process and allays concerns that developing countries will be called upon to contribute to the global effort without commensurate support.
2. Basing all of our work on the most reliable, credible science available in the form of the IPCC and other relevant reports which have consistently established the need for urgent action to address the existing gaps particularly on mitigation, adaptation and climate finance.
3. Ensuring that no country or group is left behind through building mutual trust and understanding and stressing the global nature of the climate challenge and hence the need for collective, complementary and collaborative action
4. Commitment to the rules and principles that govern our collective action to tackle climate change and its impacts and
5. Emphasizing the need to move from negotiations to implementation through specific, measurable, impactful initiatives to be delivered and implemented on the ground.

Whilst these high level, international discussions are being held in Egypt, there is no need to add to anyone's airmiles to discuss these same issues, but with a grass roots focus - and thats what #COP27Norwood is all about.

Read the report from #COP26Norwood here, and join this year's Community Conversation which will focus on the cost of living crisis and its impact on sustainability for every one of us.

This is an informal discussion, with invited guests, where we can all share ideas and experiences and also look at the actions that came out of the first meeting. All ages welcome - especially young people and anyone involved in sustainable urban living or with an environmental story to share - or questions to ask!

When: Sunday, 13 November 2022 from 2:00pm to 4:00pm - with 30mins mingling time at the end, so we will be finished by 4:30pm
Where: The Portico, 23B Knight's Hill, West Norwood, London, SE27 0HS
