World leaders, delegates, and top United Nations officials have begun arriving in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, for the second edition of the Africa Climate Summit (ACS2).
Themed ‘Accelerating Global Climate Solutions: Financing for
Africa’s Resilient and Green Development’, the summit is billed for September
8-10.
Heads of state, policymakers, climate experts, and civil
society groups are expected to use the summit to forge a common African
position ahead of the COP30 negotiations scheduled for Brazil next year.
Discussions will centre on how Africa can tap its vast
renewable energy potential, showcase homegrown technology, attract climate
finance, and strike a balance between development priorities and urgent climate
action.
The first edition of the summit held in Nairobi, Kenya, in
2023, where African leaders adopted the Nairobi Declaration — a roadmap for the
continent’s green growth and financing agenda.
ACS2 is anticipated to build on that foundation, with
participants pushing for stronger commitments to adaptation, climate-resilient
infrastructure, and innovative financing mechanisms that do not saddle African
economies with unsustainable debt.
The summit is also expected to culminate in the Addis
Declaration, a joint commitment outlining Africa’s climate priorities and
demands to the global community.
