The Egyptian presidency of the 27th session of the UN Climate Change Conference (COP27) is keen on getting acquainted with the experiences of the indigenous peoples’ representatives, said Foreign Minister and President of COP27 Sameh Shoukry.
Such experiences contribute to supporting the main goal of the conference, which is implementing climate pledges and turning them into a tangible reality on the ground, added Shoukry during a dialogue held with the indigenous peoples’ representatives, who are participating at the global climate summit.
Egypt was keen to provide the indigenous people a good representation at the COP27 via exempting their pavilion from fees, he added.
The delegation members expressed their appreciation to Shourky for this dialogue as he listened to their concerns, including about preserving their culture and identity, and providing climate finance, said Foreign Ministry Spokesman Ahmed Abu Zeid.
