"African and international leaders will attend the African Climate Summit from
September 4 to 6 in Nairobi, Kenya. They will deliberate on Africa’s unified
position on the climate crisis ahead of COP28, the global climate talks, in
December and develop the Nairobi Declaration for green growth, a blueprint for
Africa’s green energy transition.
COP28 President Sultan Al Jaber, who serves as CEO of the state-owned Abu Dhabi
National Oil Co (ADNOC), will also be in attendance.
Oil Change International data shows the growth in oil and gas production in the
United Arab Emirates is poised to be among the world’s largest in the next few
years and ADNOC is expected to see the second biggest growth among fossil fuel
companies. Because of this, all eyes will be on Al Jaber to ensure he will set
aside the short-term interests of the oil and gas industry and deliver
transformative action at COP28 as promised.
To us, that means a just and equitable energy transition for Africa, phasing
out all fossil fuels and bringing an end to the exploitation of our land,
resources and communities by Global North countries."
