An initiative called ‘Climate Responses for Sustaining Peace (CRSP)’ was launched by the Egypt COP27 Presidency aimed at integrating responses to climate change that “advance sustainable peace and development”.

A resolution urging parties to agree to halting the development of new oil, gas, and coal projects as well as to align a phase-out of fossil fuels with the 1.5°C temperature goal in the Sharm El-Sheikh outcome document was adopted by the Global Assembly of Parliamentarians, which brought together elected officials from every continent.

India stated that it wants nations to phase out all fossil fuels, not just coal. It said that portraying solely coal as the villain is incorrect and that both natural gas and oil contribute to the production of climate gases.
