Add to Preferred SourcesA variety of political and economic stakeholders from France and Africa will come together at the 28th Africa-France Summit to discuss current projects and solutions and imagine and start building the sustainable African cities and regions of the future.
The decision to make the sustainable city the focus of the 2020 Africa-France Summit is an extraordinary opportunity to celebrate the success already achieved in French and African cities and lay the groundwork for their future progress for everyone’s mutual benefit.
The Summit is first and foremost a political event, with over 50 heads of state in attendance and a strong economic and environmental aspect:
- Political, because sustainable development is essential to eliminate inequalities in cities and slow the north-south migratory phenomenon while contributing to stability and peace across the African continent;
- Economic, because cities are now the main driver of growth;
- Environmental, because we must restore the balance between people, cities and nature, as cities produce 70% of all greenhouse gas emissions.
The stakeholders at this Summit will be part of the action and therefore able to implement tangible political, economic, budgetary and environmental measures and solutions.
