Climate change is a central issue in global environmental governance. Given the scale of the challenges, the most recent Conference of the Parties (COP) to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), COP 27, was faced with high expectations. This short article provides a critical assessment of COP 27. It offers an overview of the results of this COP by examining four main components-namely, mitigation of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, increased climate finance, adaptation to climate change, and loss and damage. It provides a snapshot of the outcomes of COP-27 in relation to the expectations that were previously set by stakeholders. The article concludes with a prospective analysis of the main issues to be followed up by COP 28 and beyond. It thus provides an update on the most recent developments, sheds light on future progress, and contributes to discussions on global climate governance.
