Economy-battering climate extremes, which amplified the energy price surges for many countries as a result of Russia's invasion of Ukraine, provided the backdrop to last month's high-stakes UN climate talks in Egypt. The negotiations did make history, with wealthy polluters agreeing to a fund to pay for climate damage increasingly unleashed on poorer countries. Pakistani climate minister Sherry Rehman called the move a "down payment on the longer investment in our joint futures". But vulnerable nations and campaigners said the Egypt conference failed to deliver on the emissions reductions needed to curb climate losses and damages in the future. "COP27 tackled the consequences of climate change, but not the cause -- fossil fuels," said Harjeet Singh of Climate Action Network. To keep the 1.5C limit in play, planet-heating emissions need to be slashed by 45 percent by 2030, and be cut to net zero by mid-century. At 2021 UN talks in Glasgow, nations were urged to ramp up their emissions reduction commitments. But only around 30 countries have heeded that call, leaving the world on track to hot up by about 2.5C.A shocking revelation that could shake the foundations of Kenya-Sudan relations and jolt the international community from their conform.
