ESG Series: COP27 outcomes – Principles, policies, politics: The MUFG Global Markets Podcast

Ehsan Khoman, Head of Commodities, ESG and Emerging Markets Research (EMEA), discusses MUFG’s latest ESG publication, titled, “COP27 outcomes – Principles, policies, politics” (read it here). The report aims to offer corporates and investors a comprehensive breakdown of COP27 deliberations that concluded on 20th November, and what the next steps look like.

Ehsan believes that COP27 did little to accelerate the speed of transition at a global political level, leaving ambition and action to take place at COP28 in the UAE in November 2023. After drawing to a close 39 hours late (the second-longest COP in history), many contentious matters, notably around language limiting fossil fuels, were left for future climate talks. Succinctly, faint contours of progress – not balanced – were achieved.
