Description

The inaugural Africa Climate Summit (ACS) was held in Nairobi, Kenya from 4th -6th September 2023. Co-hosted by the Government of Kenya and the African Union Commission (AUC), the Africa Climate Summit focused on unlocking climate investments in energy, agriculture, water, and infrastructure. Two days prior to the Africa Climate Summit, Africa Indigenous Peoples held a pre-summit to reflect and strategize on how to effectively engage with the Summit to ensure that they are recognized as a critical and distinct constituency and interest group, with specific concerns, priorities and contributions to make to the green transition in Africa. Of the outcomes of both the Africa Climate Summit and the Africa Indigenous Peoples Pre-Summit was the Nairobi Declaration and the Africa Indigenous Peoples Declaration respectively. There is therefore need for Indigenous Peoples to look critically into the Nairobi Declaration vis a vis the Indigenous Peoples Declaration and come up with an action plan that would see how the critical elements that concern IPs as noted in the two outcome documents are followed up to ensure implementation and bridge of gap between the two documents.
