President Joseph Biden has invited five African presidents and 35 other world leaders to join him at the Leaders Summit on Climate on April 22-23. The African contingent consisting of Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) president Félix Tshisekedi, Gabonese president Ali Ben Bongo, Kenyan president Uhuru Kenyatta, Nigerian president Muhammadu Buhari, and South African president Cyril Ramaphosa will likely press for financial support to undertake climate change mitigation and adaptation initiatives. In addition, each will seek to advance domestic and personal goals at this high-profile event.
Africa’s participation in the summit reflects the continent’s indispensability as an actor in the world’s efforts to reduce emissions and limit global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius. Whether it is deforestation, desertification, or rising sea levels, it is impossible to address the worst impacts of climate change without Africa’s input and cooperation. Even though the regi

While the eyes of many environmentalists across the world are already focused on November’s COP26 summit in Glasgow, this week’s US-hosted climate conference is also vital in this most important year for global warming diplomacy since 2015.
The US event on Thursday (Earth Day) and Friday, convened virtually by President Joe Biden and involving some 40 other world leaders, is important for at least two big reasons.
Firstly, the US has announced plans to cut its emissions by at least 50 percent compared to 2005 levels by 2030. While even this commitment lags behind Europe, it could spur other large emitters to raise their game, as UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres hinted recently. He said such a move would “have very important consequences in relation to Japan, in relation to China, in relation to Russ

This past December marked the fifth anniversary of the landmark Paris Agreement. Soon after, the Biden Administration rejoined the Paris Agreement as one of their first actions in office. And in January, the Climate Adaptation Summit once again convened global leaders and local stakeholders to accelerate adaptation action.
As these milestones reinvigorate a call to action for our politicians and business leaders to act on climate and “ramp up climate ambition,” all eyes inevitably turn to the usual avenues for addressing and adapting to climate change: forests, clean energy and waving goodbye to our toxic relationship with fossil fuels. And while mitigation efforts continue to dominate the conversation, adaptation is ever-increasing in importance in global discussions as extreme w
