The conference, which is taking place in Sharm El-Sheikh, Egypt from November 6-18, is expected to give inclusive and ambitious results acting on agreements, decisions and commitments reached in the past including Rio declaration and from COP26.

It is also believed to focus on a broader range of issues including enhancing implementation and raising ambitious issues related to climate change.

Similarly, the issues of greenhouse gas emission reduction, that of bringing together world's all countries to maintain earth's temperature increment at 1.5 degree Celsius, the preparations of an action plan to implement Glasgow Climate Pact, the Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs), and ambitious goals of emissions reduction, the implementation of the Finance for Climate Adaptation from COP26 and the agreement on the global goals on climate adaptation are on the table.
