Good debut for ACPC at Cancun climate change conference

Abstract

The newly launched African Climate Policy Centre (ACPC) has been making an impressive debut at the current UN Conference on climate change in Cancun, according to correspondents of the Information and Communication Service (ICS) of the UN Economic Commission for Africa (ECA) covering the conference. At key side events where focused discussions on climate change technical issues are taking place and during one-on-one encounters with various stakeholders, the Centre received warm welcome and high-level interest from potential partners who said they had been waiting for a Centre like ACPC as their entry-point to engaging Africa.
