Elevating Continent’s Priorities on Global Stage

Dessalegn Atnafu, an environment expert at the Ethiopian Environmental Protection Authority, also expressed his conviction that the Ministry of Planning and Development, along with UNFCCC and other international actors, will be able to meticulously design strong messages to the international community to strengthen the global climate actions and financing to make Africa climate resilient and build green economies.

CW2 and the subsequent ACS2 will strengthen the continent’s climate change actions, according to Atnafu. By unlocking financial resources, these platforms will facilitate further climate actions and discussions for COP30 and beyond.

According to UNFFCC, one of the core objectives of ACS2 is “to accelerate the mobilisation of climate finance tailored to Africa’s development context”. The UN agency stated that the Summit aims to channel capital towards clean energy projects, climate-resilient infrastructure and sustainable agriculture, among others.

“The outcomes of ACS2 will be reflected in discussions during COP30, where negotiations and deliberations will focus on NDC 3.0 and the Baku-to-Belém Roadmap, which aims to mobilize at least $1.3 trillion annually by 2035 to support climate action in developing countries.”

Ethiopia’s Ministry of Planning and Development, in association with the Government Communication Service and the Global Green Growth Institute is also offering training sessions and awareness creation forums for climate scientists and communicators in Addis Ababa as part of the 2nd Africa Climate Week.
