COP27 this November will be held in Egypt on the African continent which is facing worsening economic conditions and consequences of the climate crisis – from deadly floods to crop-withering droughts – despite being responsible for only 3% of carbon emissions. Meanwhile, over 750 million Africans lack access to electricity, while food insecurity, rising fuel prices, and increasing loss and damages put lives at risk. This summit has the potential to be a turning point in addressing Africa’s climate, nature, food, and energy crises – but only if developed countries step forward with political will and funding for action.
Join us on October 18 to hear from WRI experts and youth leaders about what is at stake for Africa at COP27 and set expectations for a successful outcome. Speakers will reflect on a range of urgent topics, including how to restore forests, protect food supplies, build thriving and resilient cities, build resilience to climate change and support communities at speed and scale when impacts are so severe that adaptation is no longer feasible.
Moderator:
Rebekah Shirley, Director, Research, Data & Innovation, Africa
Speakers:
Susan Chomba, Director, Vital Landscapes, Africa
Hellen Wanjohi, Resilient Cities Lead, Africa
Shehnaaz Moosa, SouthSouthNorth
Discussant:
Ineza Grace, Loss & Damage Youth Collaborative
