“We can now say with credibility that we have kept 1.5 degrees alive. But its pulse is weak, and it will only survive if we keep our promises and translate commitments into rapid action.”

The COP26 held last year ended with these words. At the COP27 summit, which started in Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt, on Sunday and left its first week behind, the countries’ climate targets and emission reduction plans were reconsidered.

• Low-income countries need lower green energy infrastructure costs,
• Each major city has a unique system that requires exclusive solutions.
