COP28 Outcomes

Have African Interests and Priorities been addressed?

The Conference of Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP28) attracted a record number of participants. Over 97,000 individuals were registered for on-site attendance in Dubai, United Arab Emirates (UAE) and another 3000 were admitted for virtual participation. While being viewed as the most important COP for accountability for climate action, COP28 provided delegates, on behalf of their parties, to deliberate and reach decisions on fast-tracking energy transition; climate finance; centering nature, people, lives, and livelihoods; and strengthening inclusivity. In large alignment with COP28 thematic areas, the African interests and priorities in this year’s global climate summit were outlined by the African leaders in their common position submission including Global Stocktake (GST); strengthening adaptation actions; operationalization of the loss and damage fund; just energy transition; and a push for Africa to be granted the special needs and circumstances status.
