President Hage Geingob left for Egypt on Sunday to attend the 27th Conference of the Parties (COP27). The conference, which will take place in Sharm el-Sheikh from the 6th to the 18th of November, will push leaders to commit to achieving a zero-carbon future for all.

This year's conference will bring together leaders in governments, civil society, industries, and finance from around the world to raise ambition and accelerate action to achieve the goals of the Paris Agreement and the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change.

A total of N$1.2 million was raised for the COP27 conference of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change.

The conference will take place in Sharm El-Sheikh, Egypt, from November 6–18.

The funds, sponsored mostly by private and public-private entities, will go towards the set-up of the Namibian pavilion that will be displayed at the conference.

There will be different discussions on climate change and how Namibia is tackling the problem.
