COP26: The AFD Program

COP26, the 26th annual climate summit, is being held in Glasgow, where world leaders, environmentalists, public development banks and members of the business community engage in talks on climate issues. The 12-day summit will cover issues ranging from deforestation, to providing incentives for renewable energy. The goal is to prevent the planet from warming more than 2 degrees from pre-industrial temperatures – an ambitious objective that requires urgent action, from the protection and restoration of ecosystems, to the mobilization of finance.

AFD at COP26 in Glasgow

Present at COP26, AFD will emphasize the importance of green finance and the role of nature in forging fairer and more resilient modes of development. It will also highlight the threats posed to biodiversity and the climate, and indicate solutions that address current global challenges and help build towards a green recovery. 

We will participate on panels discussing a variety of topics including: 

  • Scaling up climate finance to mobilize the trillions of dollars needed in developing countries 
  • Solutions like the "Desert to Power" initiative, which seeks to make the Sahel the world’s largest area for solar energy production 
  • Climate change adaptation and mitigation under the Paris Agreement
