Climate Change Is Already Wreaking Havoc On The COP27 Host

On November 6, leaders around the world will gather for the annual UN Climate Change conference, known this year as COP27. The aim: finding ways to slow the warming of the planet, before it’s too late.

Take Egypt—it’s getting hotter at twice the pace of some other nations, and also happens to be the host of this year’s conference. If it continues to warm at its current rate, the country's crops will wither and the capital, Cairo, will become unlivable. What’s happening in Egypt right now is a glimpse into the future for the rest of us if governments don’t get serious about the climate.

Bloomberg climate reporter Laura Millan Lombraña joins this episode from Madrid to walk us through what’s at stake as COP27 is set to begin–and give us the good and bad news about where the Earth’s climate is heading. And energy reporter Salma El Wardany joins from Cairo with perspective from the ground after talking with Egyptian farmers who fear for their futures.
