COP and the University of Edinburgh

COP 27 – a global conference that tackles the climate crisis – is happening 6 - 18 November 2022 in Egypt. Find out how the University is contributing.

In November 2022, the Government of the Arab Republic of Egypt will host the 27th Conference of the Parties of the UNFCCC (COP 27), with a view to building on previous successes and paving the way for future ambition to effectively tackle the global challenge of climate change.

We are sending 10 delegates to represent the University. The staff and students will participate in a number of events and panel discussions.
