AGN BRIEFS MINISTERS AS FIRST WEEK OF NEGOTIATIONS CLOSES #COP30 As the first week of COP30 climate negotiations closed, the African Group of Negotiators convened a Ministerial briefing to highlight state of negotiations and reinforcing Africa’s priorities and common position at COP30. AGN Chair, Richard Muyungi reiterated negotiators’ desire to get the best deal for Africa, particularly on adaptation as indicators of the Global Goal on Adaptation are set to be adopted. “Our priorities here at COP30 are clear; finance for overall climate action but most importantly, adaptation as the continent continues to bleed financially to cope with escalating devastating impacts of climate change. On the GGA indicators, we have maintained our position that we need fit for purpose indicators with inclusion of means of implementation as we cannot achieve much without means of implementation support,” said Dr. Muyungi. He emphasised the importance of African unity as the negotiations enter the second and final crucial week, noting that technical negotiators would be available to support high level Ministerial engagements in the various agenda items, especially the yet to be concluded such as the GGA, among others, for which the COP30 Presidency has constituted Ministerial Consultation teams @_AfricanUnion @AfricaAAI @UNEP_Africa @AfDB_Group @AfricanClimate @Amref_Worldwide @Cop30noBrasil @UNFCCC

⁠Dr. Mithika Mwenda, Pan-African Climate Justice Alliance (PACJA) Executive Director: "…Africa’s adaptation and resilience building must remain at the heart of our conversations, both in Africa and globally. Our countries and communities are on the frontlines of climate impacts—yet we have contributed the least to the crisis. Belem must deliver stronger commitments that prioritize the urgent needs of vulnerable communities, protecting livelihoods, ecosystems, and economies. Central to this is adaptation finance. It is not enough to promise – finance must flow, and it must be accessible, predictable, adequate and scaled up dramatically. We must demand concrete delivery on the new collective quantified goal on finance. Africa must lead the call for a goal that is not only ambitious but based on real needs, reflecting the scale of the adaptation and mitigation challenges we face.” @oumi_kay @AfricaAAI @FRLossandDamage @ECA_OFFICIAL @AfricanClimate @AfDB_Group @_AfricanUnion @LDCChairUNFCCC @UNFCCC @UNEP @RoseMwebaza @Amref_Worldwide @DestaLakew @friphiri @Afsafrica @PACJA1 @RichardMuyungi @UNDPClimate @WBG_Climate

Speaking at the African Group of Negotiators on Climate Change meeting taking place in Tanzania from 28th-30th April, the executive director @mithika_mwenda gave his remark where he highlighted that; At a time when climate, financial, and geopolitical crises converge, Africa is stepping forward with a unified and determined agenda: ✔️ Centering adaptation and resilience for the most vulnerable ✔️ Securing scaled-up, accessible, and predictable climate finance ✔️ Advocating for a just, inclusive transition that supports sustainable development and job creation African civil society is also scaling up cross-movement collaborations, linking climate justice to economic justice, debt justice, tax fairness, feminist leadership, and youth empowerment.

It was established in 1995 with the objective of representing the interests of Africa in the international climate change negotiations, with a common and unified voice. "We are planting these trees as a symbolic gesture for the 30 years' existence of the AGN. We have agreed with the hotel to nurture and preserve these trees for posterity," said AGN Chair, Dr. Richard Muyungi @oumi_kay @AfricaAAI @FRLossandDamage @ECA_OFFICIAL @AfricanClimate @AfDB_Group @_AfricanUnion @LDCChairUNFCCC @UNFCCC @UNEP @RoseMwebaza @Amref_Worldwide @DestaLakew @friphiri @Afsafrica @PACJA1 @RichardMuyungi @UNDPClimate @WBG_Climate

1. Ibrahima Cheikh Diong, Executive Director of the @FRLossandDamage (FRLD), speaking at the AGN Strategic Meeting in Zanzibar: “At the Fund for Responding to loss and Damage, we acknowledge the African Group of Negotiators for the strong leadership, collective voice and advocacy on behalf of a region that has long stood at the forefront of the global climate conversation. I wish to emphasise that the time we are meeting is when climate change impacts are no longer distant projections, they are our reality today. For many across the region, loss is irreversible and damage is immeasurable. It is for this context for which the Fund for responding to Loss and Damage was created—to assist developing countries that are vulnerable to the adverse impacts of climate change in responding to climate-induced economic and non-economic loss and damage.” @ECA_OFFICIAL @AfricanClimate @AfDB_Group @_AfricanUnion @LDCChairUNFCCC @UNFCCC @UNEP @RoseMwebaza @AfricaAAI @Amref_Worldwide @DestaLakew @friphiri @Afsafrica @PACJA1 @RichardMuyungi @UNDPClimate @WBG_Climate
