Will talk of action at COP27 turn out to be more than just hot air?

The sheer number of people in attendance at COP27 shows you just how important this climate summit is to the world. This COP has something very specific as it is the implementation COP.

It is time for action.

So, it’s galvanised all those efforts towards a common action.
