U.S. Africa Climate Forum
"Building Our Green Future Together"
Conservation, Climate Adaptation, and a Just Energy Transition
This session will explore the ways that the governments and peoples of the United States and African nations are partnering to address conservation, climate adaptation, and the just energy transition based on shared priorities. The discussion will identify ways that we might better integrate natural resource planning and infrastructure development, including clean energy. Session focus areas include 1) conservation including nature-based economies based on forests and wildlife and protecting Africa’s waters – ending Illegal, Unreported and Unregulated (IUU) fishing; 2) climate adaptation; and 3) the clean energy transition. Each segment will highlight the important role that women, girls, indigenous, and marginalized communities play as agents of change and will focus on opportunities for sub-national engagement.
