主要排出国の協調が焦点　ＣＯＰ２７、エジプトで開幕

　国連気候変動枠組み条約第２７回締約国会議（ＣＯＰ２７）が６日、エジプト・シャルムエルシェイクで開幕した。温室効果ガスのさらなる排出削減に向け、２０３０年までの「作業計画」の採択を目指す。ロシアのウクライナ侵攻に伴い世界のエネルギー事情が変わる中で中国やインドなど温室ガスの主要排出国と、先進国が協調できるかが焦点だ。会議には約１９０以上の国・地域が参加予定。１８日まで。（2022/11/06-20:23）

A key U.N. climate change conference started in Sharm El Sheikh, Egypt, on Sunday, with participants aiming to adopt a work plan for the period until 2030 to realize greater reductions in greenhouse gas emissions.
   One of the focuses at the 27th Conference of the Parties to the U.N. Framework Convention on Climate Change, or COP27, is whether advanced nations can work with major carbon dioxide emitters such as China and India at a time when the global energy situation is changing following Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
   The Paris Agreement, an international framework for combating climate change, calls for limiting the average global temperature rise to 1.5 degrees Celsius from the preindustrial levels.
   At last year's COP26, held on Glasgow, Scotland, participating countries further clarified their intentions to reach the goal to help lower the risks of climate change impacts such as drought and sea level rises.
   To curb the global temperature rise to 1.5 degrees, greenhouse gas emissions need to be reduced by 45 pct by 2030 from the levels in 2010.
