Empowering Africa’s Climate Action with Science, Finance, and Just Transition
The 13th Conference on Climate Change and Development in Africa (CCDA-XIII) will serve as a key technical gathering that provides a key foundation for the Second Africa Climate Summit (ACS2). It is scheduled to take place from September 5 to 7, 2025, in Addis Ababa. The conference will bring together a diverse group of stakeholders, governments, academia and research communities, civil society, Indigenous Peoples, youth, and private sector actors, to promote African-led, evidence-based climate action. The focus will be on strengthening resilience, fostering green growth, and scaling up climate finance, all in support of implementing the AU Climate Change and Resilient Development Strategy and Action Plan (2022–2032)
CCDA-XIII, with its theme of "Empowering Africa's Climate Action with Science, Finance, and Just Transition," aligns well with ACS2's theme of "Accelerating Global Climate Solutions: Financing for Africa's Resilient and Green Development." CCDA-XIII will adopt ACS2's three-day thematic format, discussing nature- and technology-driven solutions, scaling adaptation and resilience, and transforming climate finance from aid to investment. Throughout, CCDA-XIII will provide a vital technical foundation to support Africa's unified voice at ACS2 and the Conference of the Parties (COP30) in Belém, aiming to promote policy coherence, evidence-based advice, and continent-wide priorities. It will solidify the continent's shared vision for climate justice, a green economy, and financial reform by connecting science, policy, and investment; amplifying grassroots voices and bottom-up governance; and scaling African solutions as global models for prosperity and resilience.
