Déclaration Semaine Climat-Energie 2025
Summary
The declaration calls for the 'decolonization of knowledge' and the operationalization of Locally Led Adaptation (LLA) principles to ensure African communities are central to climate action. It proposes the creation of a Local Climate Fund (FCL) and a readiness fund for the local private sector to reduce reliance on private financing that leads to 'climate over-indebtedness' in Least Developed Countries (LDCs). The document urges African governments to institutionalize a National Energy Transition Council and democratize energy entrepreneurship. Internationally, it demands that high-emitting countries mobilize at least $1.3 trillion annually by 2035 to support developing nations and prioritize grants over debt-increasing loans.
Key insights
- The document argues that current climate action is hindered by financing gaps, particularly at the territorial level, and that the dominance of private finance contributes to the 'climate over-indebtedness' of Least Developed Countries (LDCs).
- To support local development and climate trajectories, the signatories propose the creation of a Local Climate Fund (Fonds Climat Local - FCL) and a readiness fund to promote local content and economic dynamics within the private sector of each country.
- The declaration calls for a shift in approach to climate policy, advocating for the 'decolonization of knowledge' to promote endogenous African approaches and the domestication of Locally Led Adaptation (LLA) principles.
- The document urges African governments to democratize energy entrepreneurship by requiring minimum participation of territories and communities in both public and private energy projects, and to establish a National Energy Transition Council.
- High greenhouse gas emitting countries are called upon to mobilize at least $1.3 trillion per year by 2035 to support developing countries and to prioritize public financing, grants, and climate reparations over debt-inducing mechanisms.
