Cop27: China to hold first press briefing as island nations demand climate compensation

World leaders are set to gather for a series of closed-door meetings today, 9 November, as Cop27 enters its third full day.

This year’s conference is in Sharm El-Sheikh, Egypt, following 2021’s Cop26 in Glasgow.

Additionally, reporters are expected to press Beijing officials on how they intend to limit their methane leaks.
