TNRF PARTICIPATION IN THE AFRICAN CIVIL SOCIETY POST-UNFCCC COP 26 REFLECTIONS AND STRATEGY WORKSHOP IN CAIRO EGYPT

Pan African Climate Justice Alliance (PACJA), in collaboration with Youth Love Egypt Foundation and the Alliance National Platform, has organized a roundtable discussion to review, reflect and analyze the COP26 outcomes and build a broad consensus on the collective strategy for COP27. The workshop is scheduled from 15th to 18th December 2021 at Radisson Blu Hotel, Cairo, Egypt.

The Roundtable will provide a platform for Tanzania Natural Resource Forum (TNRF) whose climate change is one of its thematic areas, to participate, exchange views and experiences, and deeply reflect on the COP26 outcomes, based on Africa’s aspirations and expectations in the countdown to Glasgow. Participants will also share perspectives and chart a common way forward for COP27, to be held in Sharma El Sheikh, Egypt in 2022.

The workshop will bring together representatives from Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs), Women leaders, Youth, Indigenous Peoples, Think-tanks, Academic and Research institutions, Sectoral-thematic networks (smallholder farmers, social enterprises/ private sector, and farmer associations) governments, and Intergovernmental Agencies (AU and UN) to think through where the continent could have done better, what lessons can be drawn from Glasgow to ensure Sharma El Sheikh delivers better outcomes for African people and the planet. 

In the end, participants will come up with a collective understanding of the implication of the Glasgow Climate Pact to Africa’s National Determined Contributions (NDCs) implementation, overall climate action, and pursuit for climate justice. They will outline Africa’s resilient pathways and strategies for NDCs implementation from various Actors. Also, strategic approaches and key milestones, events, and activities towards COP27. Discuss and adopt a set of recommendations in the form of a communique “the COP27 African people want” to the COP Presidency.
