The COP27 climate discussion will take place in the spring of 2022, and there are a lot of important topics to be addressed. Firstly, it is apparent that the COVID 19 pandemic has led to a sharp decrease in air travel, which is no doubt good for the environment. This poses the question of whether low emission travel is going to be an important tool for reducing our carbon emissions. Additionally, it is important to begin the process of phasing out fossil fuel projects. Denmark and Costa Rica launched an ambitious alliance to reduce oil and gas in November. 

I think that all countries should follow along in the footsteps of Denmark and Costa Rica. It is extremely important that we begin the process of phasing out fossil fuel production. If we continue to extract fossil fuels, our carbon emissions will solely increase, and the process of climate change reversal will become significantly more difficult. Outside of curbing fossil fuel production, I think we should invest into nuclear power and other forms of clean energy. This energy should be incorporated into sectors with high carbon emissions, such as air travel. This article makes it clear that the decrease in air travel has led to a significant decrease in carbon emissions, further highlighting the importance of transitioning from crude oil fuel to clean energy.
