Sharm El-Sheikh, Egypt – Speaker Nancy Pelosi issued this statement after the Congressional delegation concluded its participation in the United Nations Climate Change Conference (“COP27”):

 

“Today, our Congressional delegation concluded a productive visit to COP27, where we delivered an unmistakable message: America is all in to fight the climate crisis.

 

“Our delegation salutes President Joe Biden – under his visionary leadership, America is accelerating our transition to a clean energy future and making progress on our commitment to future generations: that we will pass on the planet in a responsible, sustainable way. President Biden’s well-acclaimed address to the conference offered a unifying call for collective action to save the planet – renewing optimism in our nation and around the world.

 

“Our Members had the opportunity to meet again with Foreign Minister and COP27 President Sameh Shoukry of Egypt, expressing our gratitude for his leadership in convening this extraordinary gathering.  In addition to discussing governance and regional, economic and water security, we discussed the importance of COP27 in strengthening global partnerships to extinguish the existential threat of the climate crisis.

 

“It was a privilege to meet with leaders from international and U.S. NGOs and civil society to discuss climate action and human rights.  Many meeting participants highlighted the impacts of climate disaster in their communities and offered valuable insight that will help guide future domestic and international climate action. 

 

“Our delegation returns to Washington re-energized to continue our fight for the ambitious and necessary climate action our world needs now.  Nothing can deter House Democrats from our urgent mission to save the planet.”
