The event brings together heads of state, policymakers, and climate experts to create a unified African position before the COP30 negotiations in Brazil next year.
Discussions will center on tapping into Africa’s vast renewable energy potential, highlighting local climate innovations, attracting sustainable funding, and balancing development goals with urgent climate action.
This summit follows the first Africa Climate Summit held in Nairobi, Kenya, in 2023, where leaders adopted the Nairobi Declaration, a plan for green growth and financing for the continent.
This year’s event aims to build on that momentum, with participants pushing for stronger commitments to climate adaptation, resilient infrastructure, and new financing methods that won’t burden African economies with more debt.
The summit is expected to conclude with the adoption of the Addis Declaration, a collective statement of Africa’s climate priorities and demands to the global community.
