According to Google's Managing Director for the Middle East and North Africa, Anthony Nakache, "COP27 will help us continue to look into new legislative measures and corporate pledges that will assist Google and other firms accomplish higher carbon reductions in the next decade." Google Maps' eco-friendly routing tool, which shows users the most fuel-efficient routes, has just been released. In order to get the most efficient route and fuel or energy usage estimations, users can indicate whether they have a gas or petrol-powered car, a diesel car, a hybrid car, or an electric car.
The first country in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) to implement environmentally friendly routing is expected to be Egypt in the coming weeks. Travelers to the Middle East and North Africa may now use Google Search to find eco-certified hotels and flights with lower carbon emissions in their region. Researchers and scientists can now use "Calling in our Corals," an online interactive experiment on Google Arts & Culture, to keep tabs on the health of coral reefs all over the world, including those in Sharm El Sheikh. The experiment will also aid in the monitoring of illegal mining, noise pollution, and the success of reef restoration efforts. To my knowledge, Egypt is the first Arab country to join this endeavour. Visitors to COP27 will be able to learn about the biological consequences of damaged coral reefs around the world and contribute to the research through an interactive installation. There is no way to put a price on the work being done by scientists all around the world to find a solution to the catastrophe threatening coral reefs.
