Second Africa Climate Summit
The second edition of the Africa Climate Summit aims to serve as a platform to inform, frame, and influence commitments, pledges, and outcomes. The Summit will bring Africa’s shared vision of climate action on advancing Africa-led solutions and how to finance them, collaboratively championed by the Africa Union Commission (AUC) and Ethiopia as the host. The Summit emphasizes the need for Africa to harness climate financing strategies that address the impacts of climate change while contributing to both climate adaptation and mitigation interventions and ensuring green development. The Summit recognizes Africa’s potential for global climate solutions, emphasizing the need for fair and equitable allocation of resources and support, particularly for African nations that have historically contributed the least to climate change but are disproportionately affected by its impacts. Yet, the continent has immense potential for climate change rectifications for the region and the globe in general.
