Tunisia to Participate in Second African Climate Summit
Tunisia will participate in the second African Climate Summit, scheduled to take place from September 8 to 10, 2025, in the Ethiopian capital, Addis Ababa, as confirmed by the Ministry of Environment to the Tunisian news agency TAP.
High-level interventions are planned during this major event, which is expected to be attended by the Secretary-General of the United Nations. The summit will also feature over 180 parallel events and 50 round tables on various themes, including:
- Nature-based solutions
- Technologies
- Energy
- Agriculture
- Health
- Financing
- Investment
- Food systems
- Cities
- Just transitions
- Green minerals
- Early warning systems
This summit is organized in partnership by the African Union and the Ethiopian government, under the theme "Accelerating Global Climate Solutions: Financing for Green and Resilient African Development" in the face of climate disruptions, with a focus on nature-based solutions and regional solidarity.
On this occasion, African leaders are called upon to adopt a common position in favor of climate justice, sustainable financing, and technology transfer. The summit takes place a few months before the 30th United Nations Conference on Climate Change (COP30), scheduled to take place from November 10 to 21, 2025, in Brazil.
According to a joint statement by the UN and the Ethiopian government, the African Climate Summit is expected to send a clear message to the international community: Africa is ready to intensify its climate action, but COP30 must ensure its implementation.
The upcoming COP30 must keep its promises to Africa and its 1.5 billion inhabitants. Recent climate conferences have resulted in concrete global agreements, such as the creation of the Loss and Damage Fund at COP27, the commitment to a just transition to clean energy, and the doubling of climate financing for developing countries to $1.3 trillion per year by 2035, as well as the establishment of effective carbon markets.
