COP27 Climate Summit: Some Key Statistics on Risk and Investment Trends
As Egypt hosts the most important sustainability event of the year, COP27, the Middle Eastern country is pushing hard on making the summit about decarbonization implementation as opposed to climate commitments. However, given the weak global economy, high inflation, and geopolitical instability, we should not expect many breakthroughs coming out of this year's summit. The over 100 countries participating will be negotiating the establishment of the Damage and Loss Fund (a fund to finance damage and losses suffered by most vulnerable countries), as well as the $ 100 billion yearly investment commitment for developing countries to address their climate adaptation and mitigation priorities. Nobody expects much progress on either front given the limited political capital of the largest polluting countries as well as the weak budget space to fill the climate financing gap.

Millcreek Walk
The duo easy road walked the 5 miles in from snowbank, found site ninety nine early evening. Bivouac, simple, gear dropped-N- propped, day packs back to back, bedrolls out, pulled up close to the dakato fire they had dug. Dinner, MRE's pulled from each ruck. Water boiled over the smokeless fire poured first, into the pouches of the ever popular shake and squeeze lasagna, then splashed into the odd colored NASA engineered mix of sweetener, creamer, and "coffee". As they sporked, bite by bite, each red sauce drenched gluten morsel, the freinds chatted, buddy junk, occassionally sharing the chore of adding twigs and wrist sized chunks to the fire hole. They settled in water skins and extras zipped up with them, then watched each star pop alive first one by one, then by handful's to fill the nights deep blue dome with swirling moving pins of light, the spectacle kept them talking too late.

Forever Rain
I walk through the soaking-wet streets of what used to be the most beautiful seaside town. The town is called Rose Town. Rose Town is known for the glorious array of colored roses that grow along the clifftop. In the summer, the cliffs burst into a fiery array of red, orange, pink, and yellow roses, complimented by a view of 9 miles of beautiful golden sand and a deep blue sea that shines like a bed of dazzling jewels. The town is usually buzzing with bakers baking fresh bread, doughnut stalls, various buskers and comedians, people chatting happily while sitting outside the coffee shops enjoying food and fresh coffee, shoppers, and tourists.

Earth is a planet in the solar system, there are eight planets in the solar system, they are Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune, outside of Neptune there is Pluto, once Pluto also belongs to a planet, but scientists think that Pluto's volume and mass are too small, so they kicked Pluto out of the ranks of the planets, currently only eight planets left in the solar system. In the solar system of the eight planets, only the Earth planet was born life, the emergence of life on the Earth planet added a lot of colors, especially after the emergence of mankind, to solve many mysteries of the universe.

We are just a few weeks away from 2022 United Nations Climate Change Conference, more commonly referred to as COP27. This year, the 27th global summit takes place in Sharm El-Sheikh, in Egypt from November 6 to 18. This is the second time a Middle Eastern country hosts one of these summits. Morocco hosted COP22 five years ago.
