2 days on the theme of “Sustainable Habitats and Climate Change in Africa”

In Africa, the theme of sustainable, accessible and inclusive living represents a key topic at the heart of local climate action. The Climate Chance association is proposing a multi-actor mobilisation on the African continent by organising the Climate Chance Conference Africa « Sustainable Habitats and Climate Change » in Yaounde on 23 and 24 October 2023, at the Institut Français in Cameroon. A wide range of African and international partners and networks will be involved in the Yaounde event including: UN-Habitat, the OECD, the City Climate Finance Gap Fund, the Covenant of Mayors in Sub-Saharan Africa (CoM SSA), GIZ, AFD, UCLG Africa, ICLEI Africa, West African Development Bank, etc. The conference, which is part of UN-Habitat's World Urban Campaign (WUC), will be a major event on the international climate agenda. It will therefore be an opportunity to deliver the key messages from the Yaounde Roadmap for Sustainable Habitat in Africa - a summary and advocacy document that will be based on the analyses of the Observatory for Climate Action in Africa and the recommendations drawn up collectively at the event - at COP28 in Dubai, as well as at the forthcoming World Urban Forum 2024 (WUF12) in Cairo.
