On Wednesday 27 October 2021, GGA convened a live webinar, hosted by the Mail & Guardian, bringing together a range of climate change experts. The objective of the discussion was to identify what should be at the top of Africa’s agenda as the African Group of Negotiators head to Glasgow, Scotland for the 26th annual United Nations global climate summit (COP26). Some of the issues covered included: why is COP26 important? What are some of the challenges the African Group of Negotiators are likely to encounter? What would a successful outcome look like for African states? And what are some of the major challenges in terms of climate negotiations and igniting green industrialisation in Africa?
