Global climate conference Cop27 started on Sunday in Egypt's Sharm El Sheikh city.
The conference runs until November 18 and will bring world leaders together to discuss the climate crisis.
The Red Sea resort has been extensively redeveloped by the Egyptian government for the event.
This year, the summit will be focusing on four areas of the climate crisis: mitigation, adaptation, finance and collaboration.
UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres in October said the world faces a “catastrophe”, after a UN report found the world was set for warming of 2.8°C by the end of the 21st century.
“Global and national climate commitments are falling pitifully short,” Mr Guterres said.
The climate has been in the headlines this year amid wildfires, droughts and flooding around the world.
Campaigners say not enough progress has been made since Cop26, which took place last year in Glasgow, Scotland.
That conference resulted in the Glasgow Pact, which committed signatory nations to lower carbon emissions.
While the conference formally begins on Sunday, policy announcements have already been made.
On Friday, the EU said that it will sign a partnership agreement on hydrogen and renewable energy with Egypt during Cop27.

Day 3, Dubai Test: At a glance
Moment of the day Lahiru Gamage, the Sri Lanka pace bowler, has had to play a lot of cricket to earn a shot at the top level. The 29-year-old debutant first played a first-class game 11 years ago. His first Test wicket was one to savour, bowling Pakistan opener Shan Masood through the gate. It set the rot in motion for Pakistan’s batting.
Stat of the day – 73 Haris Sohail took 73 balls to hit a boundary. Which is a peculiar quirk, given the aggressive intent he showed from the off. Pakistan’s batsmen were implored to attack Rangana Herath after their implosion against his left-arm spin in Abu Dhabi. Haris did his best to oblige, smacking the second ball he faced for a huge straight six.
The verdict One year ago, when Pakistan played their first day-night Test at this ground, they held a 222-run lead over West Indies on first innings. The away side still pushed their hosts relatively close on the final night. With the opposite almost exactly the case this time around, Pakistan still have to hope they can salvage a win from somewhere.

What is hepatitis?
Hepatitis is an inflammation of the liver, which can lead to fibrosis (scarring), cirrhosis or liver cancer.
There are 5 main hepatitis viruses, referred to as types A, B, C, D and E.
Hepatitis C is mostly transmitted through exposure to infective blood. This can occur through blood transfusions, contaminated injections during medical procedures, and through injecting drugs. Sexual transmission is also possible, but is much less common.
People infected with hepatitis C experience few or no symptoms, meaning they can live with the virus for years without being diagnosed. This delay in treatment can increase the risk of significant liver damage.
There are an estimated 170 million carriers of Hepatitis C around the world.
The virus causes approximately 399,000 fatalities each year worldwide, according to WHO.

Quick pearls of wisdom
Focus on gratitude: And do so deeply, he says. “Think of one to three things a day that you’re grateful for. It needs to be specific, too, don’t just say ‘air.’ Really think about it. If you’re grateful for, say, what your parents have done for you, that will motivate you to do more for the world.”
Know how to fight: Shetty married his wife, Radhi, three years ago (he met her in a meditation class before he went off and became a monk). He says they’ve had to learn to respect each other’s “fighting styles” – he’s a talk it-out-immediately person, while she needs space to think. “When you’re having an argument, remember, it’s not you against each other. It’s both of you against the problem. When you win, they lose. If you’re on a team you have to win together.”
