The African Union (AU) Climate Change and Resilient Development Strategy and Action Plan (2022-2032) is a comprehensive framework aimed at addressing the challenges of climate change in Africa. The strategy was developed through a collaborative effort between the AU Commission, African member states, and regional economic communities.
The goal of the strategy is to promote sustainable and resilient development in Africa while addressing the challenges posed by climate change. The strategy recognizes that Africa is particularly vulnerable to the effects of climate change, including increased frequency and intensity of extreme weather events, rising sea levels, and decreased agricultural productivity.
The strategy outlines a number of objectives and targets that aim to build climate resilience and promote sustainable development in Africa. These objectives include increasing access to clean energy, promoting sustainable agriculture, improving water resource management, and enhancing climate-resilient infrastructure.
The strategy also includes a range of action plans that provide specific guidance for implementing these objectives. These action plans include measures such as increasing investment in renewable energy, promoting sustainable land use practices, strengthening early warning systems for extreme weather events, and enhancing the capacity of communities to adapt to the effects of climate change.
The strategy recognizes the need for a coordinated and integrated approach to addressing climate change in Africa, and emphasizes the importance of engaging with a range of stakeholders, including governments, civil society, private sector actors, and development partners.
Overall, the AU Climate Change and Resilient Development Strategy and Action Plan (2022-2032) represents a comprehensive framework for promoting sustainable and resilient development in Africa while addressing the challenges posed by climate change. Its successful implementation will require sustained commitment and collaboration among all stakeholders.
