Connecting to COP27
An online portal to becoming a citizen observer to
The 27th Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change
7-18 November 2022 in Sharm El-Shiekh, Egypt
The Virtual Exhibit Space
A list of web based climate exhibits at COP27 and beyond.
Part community fair, part trade show, part meeting space, the exhibit hall is one of the centerpieces of the civil society space at a COP. As such, it is one of the busiest, most colorful, and diverse places in the COP campus.
Some of groups at the conference have created on-line complements to their physical exhibits. To help provide virtual observers with a window into the exhibit hall experience, links to these complements are provided below. The Exhibits at COP27 section contains links to groups having exhibits at COP27. Related exhibits from other places in the world are from museums and other groups that are not at the COP, but have related important things to say, nonetheless.

UNFCCC -- 25 Years of Effort and Achievement - An interactive timeline showing key milestones in the evolution of international climate policy. This was produced by United Nations Climate Change.
On-line tools for further exploration
Tools designed to help you explore climate and climate change data on your own. These include online interactive atlases and data viewers that enable users to examine questions such as how projected climate changes will impact their own localities, what commitments countries have made to mitigating climate impacts, who is on track and who is not, and a host of other issues. Many of these tools have been introduced at past COPs, a few are scheduled to be introduced at COP27.
Click on the arrow to the right to show the list of tools.
C-ROADS - A climate simulator policy developed by Climate Interactive. Commonly used as an educational tool in mock UN climate workshops.
Climate Action Tracker - A suite of interactive tools for analyzing changes in emissions, energy production, and other climate related development variables. Also looks at projected changes. Developed by a consortium of climate policy institutes.
Climate Dashboard - A set of interactive graphs of global temperature, greenhouse gasses, and global mean sea level that is regularly updated. Produced by the 2° Institute.
Climate Impact Map - An interactive atlas of potential temperature change, mortality, and energy costs for various emission scenarios. Developed by the Climate Impact Lab.
Climate Toolbox - A suite of tools designed to look at the impact of different emission scenarios on regional climate, agriculture, wildfire, and water resources for the contiguous United States. Unique to the toolbox is the Future Climate Tool which focuses on a variety of climate impacts on tribal lands. Click here for a video introduction to the Toolbox developed by Climate Toolbox.org (a coalition of the University of Davis and five public agencies)
Climate Trace - A data visualization tool for greenhouse gas emissions developed by a nonprofit coalition. Data contained in the this database is derived from a suite of sources (e.g. remote sensing, ground-based monitoring, etc.) rather than self reporting from countries or emitters.
Coastal Risk Screening Tool - An interactive atlas of the impact of sea level rise and coastal flooding on coastal cities around the world. Developed by Climate Central.
En-ROADS - A climate-energy simulator developed by Climate Interactive. Good for understanding how models works and investigating various strategies for keeping global average temperature increase to within the Paris target of 1.5 to 2.0°C above preindustrial average.
IPCC Working Group 1 Interactive Atlas - A data analysis and visualization tool developed by the IPCC to accompany the first volume of the Sixth Assessment Report. Allows the user to investigated how some of the climate impacts described in the report might impact the area their own region.
Systems Change Lab Dashboard - An interactive visual used for exploring current progress towards decarbonizing the global economy sufficient to keeping average global temperature increase to 1.5°C. Developed by the Systems Change Lab.
Table of Solutions - An online catalog of specific strategies for decarbonized the global economy. Produced by Project Drawdown.
