COP30 in Belém: Africa’s Vision for Climate-Positive Development
As the world gathers in Brazil, Africa stresses its commitment to climate-positive development rooted in ambition and international cooperation, says Claver Gatete.
African Climate Leadership and Message
"Africa will not be defined by what it lacks, but by the solutions it provides. The continent will not wait for others to act. It will push forward its climate agenda with ambition, urgency, coherence and resolve, while demanding that others meet their respective duties and obligations under international climate agreements."
This statement echoed powerfully at two major gatherings labeled the Africa Climate Summit: first in Kenya (2023) and then in Ethiopia (September 2025). It sets the tone for Africa’s stance at the upcoming UN climate conference in Belém, Brazil, November 2025.
