taking into consideration all recommendations and decisions reached during the

The decisions that were reached during the UN conference are tantamount to a gateway to advancing towards climate neutrality and resilience, Shoukry said at the closing session of the UN conference in the Red Sea resort of Sharm el Sheikh.
He called on everyone to consider these decisions not as words on paper, but as messages addressed to the world for future generations in order to set the appropriate pace for implementing the Paris Agreement.
Shoukry expressed appreciation for tireless efforts exerted by all participating delegations to reach these results.
The foreign minister called for taking into consideration all arrangements related to financing to be able to make up for damage created by climate change.
He called for adopting the Sharm El-Sheikh Implementation Plan and to take appropriate decisions in this regard, urging the parties to the Paris Agreement to consider reports of the Adaptation Committee.
He said all adaptation-related issues were referred to the meeting of the Parties to the Paris Agreement for further consultations, calling for the adoption of the draft resolution titled "Adaptation Committee Report 2022".
He also called for considering Article 7 on the agenda titled "The Warsaw International Mechanism for Losses and Damage Associated with Climate Change Impact" and adopting decisions taken in this regard without any objection.
Moreover, He called for taking into consideration issues related to the least developed countries, saying the implementing panel was unable to conclude discussions of this issue and was referred to the parties to the Paris Conference for further consultations.
