Climate Chance Summit – Africa 2019

The second edition of the Climate Chance Summit- Africa in 2019 will ensure the continuity of the first edition. It will be spread on three days.

For a second time, it will gather the subnational governments and climate non-state actors in Africa, eventually proposing a call for proposals that will reinforce the African sectoral coalitions hosted and supported by Climate Chance and that will feed our cartography of actions in Africa.

It will also allow to work more thoroughly on the sectoral and operational roadmaps established in June 2018 in Abidjan and to reinforce the adopted engagements.

Local governments, businesses, NGOs, trade unions, scientists, representatives from agricultural, youth, women and indigenous organisations, citizens, are invited to take part in the Climate Chance Summit Africa 2019 to show the progress of their actions across Africa, to deepen the analysis of successes and difficulties, to promote the pooling of experiences and innovations, to point out solutions for a more significant scale and highlight the opportunities for new initiatives emerging from climate action in the African continent.

By promoting these exchanges between stakeholders from different families, this resolutely action-oriented summit will make it possible to:

• Stimulate the operational mobilization of non-state actors that must accelerate the implementation of the commitments made by States at COP21.
• Consolidate the dynamics of cooperation between non-state actors who are still working in isolation.
• Dialogue between non-state actors that have an international influence with actors more focused on their local issues in Africa to allow an adequate articulation between local issues and global issues.
