The UN Economic Commission for Africa (ECA) has positioned itself to assist African countries in shaping appropriate policy responses and actions in a post-2012 climate change regime, said UN Under Secretary-General and Executive Secretary of the Economic Commission for Africa, Abdoulie Janneh, today in Copenhagen. Mr. Janneh told ministers of environment who met in their second extraordinary meeting on climate change, that ECA had established the African Climate Policy Centre (ACPC) in collaboration with the African Union Commission and the African Development Bank, to carry forward post-Copenhagen work and provide African countries with appropriate technical advice to adapt to the impacts of climate change. To deliver on its promise for Africa, said Janneh, ECA will hold an ACPC programme-planning meeting in the first quarter of 2010 to which all parties and stakeholders will be invited.
