COP 27, where all climate issues go to collide at once

The 27th Conference of the Parties brings together representatives of nations from around the world — as well as their news media, providing a singular focus on climate change for a few days.

While little of the news so far breaks new ground, it conveys a growing sense of urgency — and among developing nations, frustration.

The urgency is underscored by new reports that drive home the limits of adaptation to climate change and the need for vigorous action to reduce emissions.

The frustration of developing nations — those least able to cope with climatic changes for which they bear little or no responsibility — is more than apparent from the undiplomatic comments of their diplomats.
