We are excited to announce that, in partnership with the African Union Commission (AUC), the United Nations Economic Commission for Africa (UNECA), the African Development Bank (AfDB), and Afreximbank, we will co-host the CCDA-XIV from September 7-9, 2026. CCDA XIV will be convened under the theme: "From Pledges to Implementation: The Belem- Antalya- Addis Roadmap" This year, we are joined by a diverse coalition of continental and international partners dedicated to advancing Africa’s climate and sustainable development priorities. We warmly invite you to register online and contribute to discussions on Africa’s engagement in the global climate process. This will include reviewing the outcomes of SB64, shaping the continent's priorities for COP31, and preparing strategically for COP32. By participating, you will engage in dialogues that explore pathways for accelerating the implementation of the Paris Agreement, Africa’s match towards the Addis Ababa’s COP32 next year and how things are rolling on the implementation of the ACS2 Outcomes. Topics will include, but are not limited to, our collective preparatory process for COP31 scheduled to take place in Antalya this year, Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs 3.0), National Adaptation Plans (NAPs), Article 6 of the Paris Agreement, and the Enhanced Transparency Framework, among others.

The link between climate change and violent extremism is not theoretical. It is structural. @CSDevNet1 's livelihood assessment across Adamawa, Borno and Yobe States — three of Nigeria's most conflict-affected regions — confirmed it across 1,500 households: when climate destroys livelihoods repeatedly, when there is no social protection, and when the state is absent, desperation becomes recruitment material. This is the conversation the climate world needs to have more honestly. Climate adaptation, livelihood development and peacebuilding are not separate agendas in Africa's fragile regions. They are the same agenda. 🔗 pacja.org #ClimateJustice #ClimateAndConflict #Nigeria #PACJA #CSDevNet #Sahel
