Convened by the African Union, and the Ethiopian Government, the Second Africa Climate Summit will provide a platform for policymakers, practitioners, businesses and civil society to advance Africa’s climate agenda and sustainable development priorities.

About the Event

The Africa Climate Summit 2 (ACS2) is hosted by the Government of Ethiopia (GoE) in collaboration with the African Union (AU). The GoE and AU are committed for advancing Africa’s climate agenda and sustainable development priorities.

Climate change is putting communities, economies and investments at risk across the African continent. Africa Climate Summit 2 (ACS-2) is a critical milestone on the road to COP30 for Africa to articulate its priorities and commitments – championing home-grown solutions that are driving adaptation and systems-level shifts.

Vision

ACS-2 is a platform for unifying Africa’s voice and leadership in global climate action, advancing African-led climate solutions and catalyzing bold financial and political commitments. At ACS-2, climate leaders will champion new global financing systems, and accelerate climate adaptation, mitigation, and green growth. The summit also seeks to empower communities, especially youth and indigenous groups—while fostering fair partnerships and multilateral cooperation. ACS-2 aims to position Africa not only as a frontline region of climate impacts, but as a powerhouse of global climate solutions.
