Africa’s Forum on Climate Change Energy and Development (AFCCED)

We create a forum that brings leading African committed policy makers, scholars, practitioners and thought-leaders on climate change, environment, energy, and development issues together and provide them the platform to play a central role in elaborating the African narrative and driving Africa’s structural transformation towards a more climate compatible sustainable development future.

The Context

Climate change and energy poverty are some of the most critical challenges facing Africa today, and how these two issues are addressed will go a long way in defining the development future of the African continent. However, for far too long, the voice of Africa has been relatively muted on these two critical issues where it should loudly hear. Africa has several individuals who are well recognised authorities in the area of climate change, environment, energy and development, but somehow, a distinct African voice is missing from the global energy transition debate.
