AU Climate Summit 2025
Sustainable Development Goals
The African Union (AU) Climate Summit has called for an annual $1.3 trillion fund to support Africa’s climate adaptation and mitigation efforts. Leaders and experts at the summit stressed the urgent need for global financial commitments to help the continent combat climate change, transition to clean energy, and build resilience against environmental challenges.
The proposal highlights Africa’s disproportionate vulnerability to climate impacts despite contributing minimally to global emissions. Stakeholders urged international partners to fulfill climate finance pledges and support sustainable development initiatives across the continent.
