The Climate Chance Association alongside the National Association for local authorities of Ghana (NALAG) held a press conference during the 50th session of United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change negotiations in order to present the Climate Chance Summit Africa 2019.
Climate Chance Summit – Africa,
what is it?
The first Climate Chance Africa Summit in 2018 brought together non-state African actors around operational road-maps to indicate needs and propositions dedicated to those fighting against climate change in Africa. The second edition of the Climate Chance Summit – Africa 2019 will ensure the continuity of the first Summit by gathering 2,000 participants from sub-national governments and non-state climate actors in Africa, in order to strengthen the African thematic coalitions organised and supported by Climate Chance.
Planned to be held in the International Conference centre of Accra, the Summit’s targets are the following:
- To organise high-level plenaries with key personalities from African climate movements on themes such as: cooperation between states and non-state actors for climate action, digital technology for climate action and access to funding for non-state actors.
- To organise workshops with multiple African coalitions to work on going forward and developing new African thematic and sector-based road-maps on mobility, energy, agriculture, education and urban planning etc.
- To organise the « Initiatives day » during which partners will present their significant initiatives such as the Covenant of Mayors in Sub-Saharan Africa (CoMSSA), a day dedicated to business and other events organised by AfdB, ICLEI Africa, UCLG Africa, IFDD, MTPA, Expertise France and GCCA +, etc.
