This November, Egypt will host UNFCCC’s global climate talks, the 27th Conference of Parties (COP 27), at Sharm El Sheik where participants will work towards mitigating the looming climate crisis. The planet’s future remains at risk. Yet globally, many countries keep the status quo in terms of energy consumption. Many Africans are considering COP 27 as “Africa’s COP” and Africa’s voice needs to be pragmatic, as outlined.

Leaders from Member States, the United Nations, the African Union and other partners from the Interdepartmental Taskforce on African Affairs (IDTFAA) continued their exchange on energy issues in Africa, discussing the way forward on energy access and just energy transition for the continent. The United Nations Deputy Secretary-General opened the conversation, which was moderated by the United Nations Special Adviser on Africa.
