Climate Summit Recap: Key Outcomes and What Comes Next
Briefing Series: What Congress Needs to Know About COP27

The Environmental and Energy Study Institute (EESI) invites you to view a briefing that reviewed what took place during the international climate negotiations in Egypt (COP27) and why it matters for Congress.

With dozens of events and negotiating sessions happening at any one time during the two weeks of a U.N. climate summit, it can be challenging to keep up with all the details. This briefing reviewed the key outcomes of COP27—and what they mean for Congress—and provided context and nuance to the main headlines coming out of the meeting. Panelists provided perspectives and key takeaways from the federal government, U.S. states, philanthropy, and nongovernmental organization perspectives.
