The 27th Conference of Parties (COP) will be held from 6-18 November 2022.  Egypt will host nearly 200 countries and their representatives to further the goals of the of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, (UNFCCC).

The Unitarian Universalist of Association of Congregrations is authorized to send observers from civil society to COP 27 through the UU Service Committee and UUA at the UN Office and will elevate these priorities (still being refined):

1.  Dedicate funding for Loss and Damages
