A Roadmap for African Resilience

The roadmap, developed during a July 2023 dialogue in Nairobi, serves as an indicative guide for the African Union Commission (AUC) to enhance coordination between Member States and Regional Economic Communities (RECs) in addressing transboundary climate risks. It advocates for the creation of a formal implementation plan to align with the African Union Climate Change and Resilient Development Strategy and Action Plan (2022-2032) and suggests using the 2023 Africa Climate Summit and COP28 as platforms to signal African leadership and secure necessary financial and technical resources.

• The roadmap was developed through a July 2023 multi-stakeholder policy dialogue in Nairobi involving 30 representatives from organizations and Regional Economic Communities (RECs), including ECOWAS, IGAD, EAC, and COMESA, and is based on political economy analysis of African Union (AU) and REC mechanisms.
• The authors recommend that the African Union Commission (AUC) and partners create an implementation plan to fulfill the commitment to improve coordination between Member States and RECs regarding transboundary and cascading climate risks, as outlined in the African Union Climate Change and Resilient Development Strategy and Action Plan (2022-2032).
• The document emphasizes the importance of integrating transboundary and cascading climate risks into the outcome text of COP28 and the Global Goal on Adaptation framework to demonstrate African leadership and identify required technical and financial resources.
