Water scarcity on agenda as Cop27 climate talks enter second week

Days scheduled to discuss issues such as women's rights and civil society alongside formal negotiations

Water and the effects of the climate crisis on water scarcity will come under scrutiny on Monday at the Cop27 UN climate summit in Sharm el-Sheikh as it enters its second week.

The talks are scheduled to end on Friday, though it is likely they will continue at least into Saturday, with new measures and pledges hoped for on issues from greenhouse gas emissions cuts to financial assistance for the poorest nations.
