The Africa Climate Week and Africa Climate Summit are set to take place in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia against the background of escalating climate impacts to which African nations remain the most vulnerable. Meanwhile, global interventions to address the climate crisis continue to fall short of the urgency and scale of the situation.
This is a defining moment for African nations as they convene to map out Africa-led climate solutions to address the crisis. This calls for decisive action to tackle the root cause of the crisis – coal, oil and gas- and accelerate the people-centred transition to renewable energy to advance universal energy access and sustainable development.
Ahead of COP30, African nations have the opportunity to set the tone for bold climate action at the global level, by championing a fossil fuel phase-out, rejecting “false solutions”, while advancing concrete, actionable plans for a fair and financed transition. Throughout the climate week and summit, the Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty Initiative will engage key stakeholders to advocate for climate action and explore how the proposed Fossil Fuel Treaty would support Africa’s energy transition and address the climate crisis. By joining the bloc of 17 nations from the Pacific, Latin America, the Caribbean, and Southeast Asia already engaging in discussions on a Fossil Fuel Treaty, African nations have the opportunity to build a new multilateral instrument – an actionable framework – to reinforce the Paris Agreement and address the fossil-fueled climate crisis.
As Africa Climate Week enters its third day, we’re pleased to share the Fossil Fuel Treaty’s list of available spokespeople and our hosted events to support your coverage. Below are the links to and details of the relevant resources.
