Confusion ahead of COP27: Who will negotiate for the EU?

Ten days before the start of COP27 in Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt, it is still unclear who will represent the position of the European Union member states at the climate conference. Following the surprise resignation of Czech Environment Minister Anna Hubáčková, it is not known in Brussels and Prague who will succeed her. As her country’s representative in the rotating EU Council presidency, the Czech minister was supposed to represent the position of the 27 member states.
