Ayman Elgohary, Managing Director for Egypt, North Africa and Levant at Cisco also commented: “For over two decades, Cisco has been actively supporting Egypt’s digital journey by focusing on talent development, digital transformation and supporting entrepreneurship. Today, we are very proud to announce our key role in COP27 as we believe that to flourish in today’s digital-first world, nations and businesses should operate through a twin transition – both digital and green.”

The United Nations conference will be hosted in Sharm-El Sheikh, Egypt, between November 6-18, 2022, under the theme of “Delivering for People and the Planet”.

Faced with a growing energy crisis, record greenhouse gas concentrations, and increasing extreme weather events, COP27 seeks renewed solidarity between countries, to deliver on the landmark Paris Agreement. The conference will build on the outcomes of COP26 to seek action, such as urgently reducing greenhouse gas emissions, building resilience, adapting to the impacts of climate change, and delivering on the commitments to finance climate action in developing countries.
