COP27 Towards Sustainable World Peace

From the land of peace, Egypt’s Sharm El-Sheikh city, the 27th annual UN meeting on climate change COP27 will kick off with the participation of world leaders gathered to discuss ways to address climate challenges in light of the emergence of the repercussions of climate change in every part of the world.           

Hence, I would like to talk about the nature of climate in its most general and comprehensive sense. The climate is life itself, and the more the atmosphere of life is characterized by stability and tolerance, the more this leads to peace and psychological calm.           

Wars are one of the main causes of climate change. Its negative effects are not limited to the environment only, but it also causes serious negative repercussions on the economy, health, education, as well as the psychological stability of citizens.

It seems that the countries most affected by climate change and the environmental damage caused by it are African countries, although they are not the cause.

Rather, the obvious reason is heavy industries and behaviors that increase harmful carbon emissions, yet the countries of the African continent suffer the most because of external and internal wars.           

If we look at Egypt, we find that it has always advocated for and supported peace. Despite going through many wars, Egypt was always defending itself and never starting a war. It won all wars because of its belief in tolerance and peace and its constant quest to achieve this.          

Egypt has always had the best climate throughout the year. Since the days of the Pharaohs, it has been a pioneer in utilizing natural raw materials in construction, which preserves the environment and creates a healthy atmosphere.

These materials are also characterized by durability and longevity. A good example of this is Egyptian antiquities, whose history goes back thousands of years.           

Thus, creating an atmosphere of tolerance and rejecting differences and fanaticism will have a positive impact on achieving peace and psychological calm, paving the way for achieving stability.

Consequently, it helps in rebuilding countries and reviving the economy after the difficult years that we have recently gone through, as well as searching for mechanisms that guarantee the preservation of the environment and the creation of a more sustainable life.           

I hope that discussions at COP27 will lead to positive results in that regard and provide opportunities to put aside differences between countries.

I also hope that solutions will be offered to help developing countries address climate damage and provide them with sustainable activities that guarantee them a better quality of life.
