World leaders gathered in Egypt on Monday (November 7) for the beginning of the COP27 UN climate conference. Talks on reparations for poorer states disproportionately affected by climate change are set to feature prominently in the forum.
United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres told the gathered leaders they face a stark choice to work together to cut emissions or condemn future generations to climate catastrophe. At the same time, former U.S. Vice President Al Gore said world leaders had a "credibility problem."
The speeches set an urgent tone as governments sit down for two weeks of talks on how to avert the worst of climate change.
