Walk2COP27 sets out to accelerate climate action in the run-up to COP27. Its purpose is to build mass participation and engagement: bringing people together from different countries, informing and educating, building solidarity, and creating connections.

It is based around a virtual journey from Glasgow (host city for COP26) to Sharm El-Sheikh (host city for COP27). Organisations and individuals can participate by tracking their kilometres travelled on the app, or by sharing their climate-related projects and learning from others via the planned meetings. 

There are 12 countries in between hosting a Townhall meeting that showcases the way climate change is impacting that location and the solutions that are being deployed. The Townhalls will also include an update on Walk2COP27 and a deep dive on a particular COP27 issue. The London Townhall (hybrid) is co-hosted by King's Sustainability and King's Department of Geography. It will focus on Transport & Climate featuring a keynote speaker, two panel discussions, and a drinks reception (2.30-4.30pm).
