As preparations for COP31 gather pace, African governments, project developers, investors, and delivery partners are looking for greater clarity on what to expect from the negotiations and how they can engage most effectively.

While COP31 will shape the immediate climate agenda, it also marks the beginning of the runway to COP32 in Africa, making it an important moment to align priorities, strengthen partnerships, and build momentum for implementation across the continent.

This webinar will bring together key partners to share their priorities for COP31, discuss the opportunities emerging through the Climate Action Agenda, and explore how Africa can build on the outcomes of COP31 as preparations begin for COP32.

We’ll be asking

• What should Africa be watching at COP31?
• Where could the biggest opportunities emerge for African partners?
• How can Africa turn COP momentum into practical action?
• What can COP31 set in motion ahead of COP32 in Africa?
