ACT Alliance and MECC with International Organizations Preparing for COP27

Together Towards Environmental Advocacy and Awareness!

The international Climate Summit COP27 on climate change will be held very soon between 6 and 18 November 2022, in the Egyptian city of Sharm El Sheikh, and the preparations have begun. Hence, the MECC Communication and Public Relations Department participated in an international online meeting at the invitation of ACT Alliance Communication Department, and with the participation of other international organizations, on Wednesday 14 September 2022.

The meeting aimed at exchanging ideas and suggestions, as well as discussing experiences and opinions in order to prepare and implement online marketing campaigns as part of the COP27 summit’s activities. Topics of discussions were centered around issues related to the environment and justice. It was also an opportunity to build new relationships between employees in the fields of communication, media and programs in various organizations.

In fact, media and communication have an important role and are essential part in advocacy and guidance on urgent environmental issues. This work aim to prepare for a safer and more sustainable future, especially during a time when the world is suffering from exacerbated energy crises, greenhouse gas emissions and urgent climate challenges.

It is worth mentioning that the COP27 summit will be held amidst these serious environmental crises. Its aims at enhancing solidarity between countries in order to implement the historical Paris Agreement. Attendees will be presidents and heads of countries, ministers, negotiators, experts and specialists... from all over the world.

COP27 will also build on the outcomes of COP26 and aims to deliver actions related to climate emergency, such as reducing greenhouse gas emissions, building resilience amidst the effects of climate change, and fulfill the commitments to finance climate action in developing countries…
