Kindly note that the Africa Climate Week was postponed in order to ensure the health and safety of all participants in lights of the Coronavirus (COVID-19). We will keep you updated as soon as we receive news about the new dates.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The central objective of Africa Climate Week is to share ways for governments to implement the Paris Agreement in Africa, making use of all the planning tools and support available under the Paris Agreement. The sessions aim to enhance the engagement of the private sector in implementation and delivery of national climate action plans under the Paris Agreement (Nationally Determined Contributions, or NDCs).
This will be achieved across three core tracks:
Partnering for whole society engagement in implementation This track will enable an assessment of the best practice in society-wide and economy-wide approaches to cutting greenhouse gases and building resilience.
Managing climate risks This track will allow deeper collaboration between all actors on scoping the extent of the climate risks faced in Africa across the dimensions of hazards faced, sectors impacted and a levels of governance involved. Events will focus on the development of solutions for and enhanced partnerships related to these risks. For Africa Climate Week 2020 this track will focus on water and food security and in this context address topics related to ecosystems and nature-based solutions and resilient infrastructure development.
Seizing transformation opportunities This track will provide a platform explore solutions to deliver climate action and support at a scale that puts the region on a low-emission development pathway. Related events under this focus area will provide a basis for partnership, engagement and capacity development on best practice policy, resource mobilization and technology development and deployment with a focus on energy, infrastructure and mobility.
Key partners :The meeting is being hosted by the Republic of Uganda. Key partners are the UNFCCC secretariat, the World Bank Group, the UN Development Programme, UN Environment, the UN Economic Commission for Africa, the African Union and the African Development Bank.
