Fourth Africa climate talks ensuring a just and equitable transition and human security in Africa: building resilience

Abstract

he African Climate Policy Centre (ACPC) of the Economic Commission for Africa (ECA) in partnership with the Climate Change and Desertification Unit (CCDU) of the African Union Commission (AUC) and the ClimDev-Africa Special Fund (CDSF) of the African Development Bank (AfDB) will host the 4th Africa Climate Talks (ACT!) as part of the build-up to the tenth conference on climate change and development in Africa (CCDA-X) and the 27th Conference of Parties to the UNFCCC (COP27). This year’s ACT! will consist of two rounds of regional dialogues organized in hybrid format. The ACT! webinar series brings together different perspectives and stakeholders to stimulate a pan-African discourse aimed at contributing to the emergence of an African narrative on climate change and development, drawing on lessons and experiences of civil society groups, academics, researchers, youth, the private sector and climate change negotiators. ACT! articulates opportunities that could be translated into policy options by African decision makers to build more resilient societies and economies, while enhancing environmental integrity.
