What does the just transition mean for Africa

The Africa Policy Research Institute outlines the requirements for a just transition in Africa, emphasizing the need for equitable climate financing, the inclusion of African perspectives in global decarbonisation plans, and the promotion of locally led food governance and urban adaptation.

• Africa faces limited fiscal space and requires new, equitable climate financing, noting that developed nations have failed to meet their previous climate finance commitments.
• For global decarbonisation to be considered just, it must incorporate African perspectives and address the specific implications these plans have for the continent, particularly during COP27.
• There is a need for more active pursuit of just urban climate adaptation governance and finance in African cities, as equitable adaptation has received insufficient attention.
• The combination of the climate crisis, commodity price increases, and geopolitical tensions is leading to severe food insecurity in Africa, necessitating locally based outcomes and resilient food governance.
