Green Finance Briefing: COP27 moves the conversation from pledges to implementation

Today marks the end of the first week of COP27, the UN conference that welcomed global leaders in Egypt to discuss climate change in the hope of accelerating the implementation of pledges made a year ago. 

While the previous edition of the conference – COP26, held in Glasgow last year – concluded with a flurry of climate pledges from nations and corporations to decarbonize and reach net zero by 2050, this year’s focus is on implementation.
