The Action for Climate Empowerment Innovation Project (ACEAT) initiative intends to raise the visibility of non-Party stakeholders’ efforts, as well as to empower all members of society to engage in meaningful climate action (more info: https://action4climate.support & https://unfccc.int/news/action-for-climate-empowerment-new-drive-for-society-wide-climate-action)
With the webinar “Africa and the Future of ACE” the event organizers aim to create a forum in which parties and non-party stakeholders – and especially youth – from African countries can express their visions and requirements with regard to the negotiations of a Future of Action of Climate Empowerment decision at the UN Climate Change Conference COP26 in Glasgow in November 2021 and in preparation of the UN Climate Change conference COP27 which is going to be held in Africa in 2022.
