UN Climate Change Conference (COP 27)

Egypt is hosting the 27th UN Climate Change Conference of the Parties (COP27) in Sharm El Sheikh from 6 November – 18 November 2022. The COP27 summit brings parties together to accelerate action towards the goals of the Paris Agreement and the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change.

COP26 in Glasgow, Scotland marked the first year that the COP Presidency invited businesses, financial institutions, as well as cities and states to join the conference. While traditionally geared toward state actors, the private sector plays a crucial role in achieving global climate goals. ULI is committed to supporting the real estate and land use industry in their bold and innovative efforts.

This page serves as a COP27 information hub for ULI events, content, and members related to or organizing sessions at the conference. Please reach out to [email protected] if you would like to share a COP27 side event you are involved in.

To disseminate the takeaways from the conference with the broader real estate and land use industry, ULI hosted a series of regional webinars for members in Americas, Asia Pacific, and Europe.
