Details

The meeting aims at a joint analysis and evaluation of the COP 19 summit from an East African Perspective and intends to draw conclusions, provide expertise and elaborate recommendations for representatives of the decision making institutions in the East African Community and its member states. In accordance with the East African Community Climate Change Policy and the respective action plan the conference aims at engaging the civil society as a crucial stakeholder of the efforts to meet the challenges of climate change adaptation and mitigation in the East African region. The conference is meant as a kick-off meeting to discuss how joint action concerning climate change under the umbrella of the EAC can be strengthened in the future, e.g. by creating regular civil society forums to coordinate and cooperate during the preparation and evaluation of the international COP meetings.
