Déclaration Semaine Climat-Energie 2025

The 'Déclaration Semaine Climat-Energie 2025' is a statement issued by civil society organizations, non-state actors, and local authorities from Senegal and Africa following a summit in Dakar. It calls for the 'reinvention' of territories to address the climate emergency through economic sovereignty, the localization of climate finance, and the promotion of 'just transitions' that prioritize local communities and indigenous knowledge over debt-inducing private finance.

• The document advocates for the 'decolonization of knowledge' to prioritize African and endogenous approaches to sustainable transitions and the operationalization of Locally Led Adaptation (LLA) principles.
• To support local development and climate trajectories, the statement proposes the creation of a Local Climate Fund (Fonds Climat Local - FCL) and a 'readiness fund' to promote local content and economic dynamics within each country.
• The declaration calls on high-emitting countries to mobilize at least $1.3 trillion annually by 2035 to support developing nations and to shift away from financing mechanisms that increase the debt burden of Least Developed Countries (LDCs).
• The statement urges African governments to institutionalize a National Council for Energy Transition and to democratize energy entrepreneurship by requiring minimum participation from local territories and communities in energy projects.
• The document emphasizes the need for a 'CoP of communities' to be established before each official Conference of the Parties to amplify the voices of non-state actors and local populations.
