As the world gears up for the 29th session of the Conference of the Parties (COP29) to the UNFCCC, Africa is positioning itself as a key player in the global climate finance discussions.
The upcoming summit in Dubai will focus on negotiating a New Collective Quantified Goal (NCQG), and African nations are advocating for more ambitious and equitable climate finance commitments.
The NCQG seeks to mobilize substantial financial resources to support climate action in developing countries, especially for implementing their Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) and National Adaptation Plans (NAPs).
