As the world’s eyes turn to Egypt for the United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP27), Austin-based Texas Impact/Texas Interfaith Power & Light is sending to the Chronicle daily dispatches from the conference.

A longstanding COP tradition, the Fossil of the Day is awarded by Climate Action Network International to the country that is “the best at being the worst” and “does the most to do the least.” Here, the Fossil of the Day crew explain how to be a “climate champion” and award Turkey with the prestigious trophy after the Turkish delegation puzzles COP attendees with their projected emissions goals in a plenary session earlier that day.
