No climate Justice without Human rights - Intervention by Tasneem Essop during the COP27 Opening Plenary


Egypt is one of the most repressive nations in the middle east and human rights is an enormous issue. 
Tasneem Essop, Exective Director of CAN International chose in her 1 minute intervention at the opening plenary of the UN climate Change Conference COP27 to shine a spotlight on repression in Egypt, and that there is no climate justice without human rights.

I understand Egypt's President Abdelfattah El  Sisi squirmed a little in his seat during this speech.
