While the establishment of the Loss and Damage Fund and the launch of the Africa Carbon Markets Initiative (ACMI) were positive developments, ending energy poverty, increasing climate adaptation investments, and mobilising concessional finance are all urgent priorities that remain to be addressed. Ahead of COP28 in Dubai, this ministerial and high-level session seeks to articulate Africa's position and expectations from the next UN Climate Change Conference.
Areas for discussion include:
