On September 10, during the Africa Climate Summit 2 in Addis Ababa, a delegation of the Africa Sovereign Carbon Registry Foundation, with the presence of its Secretary General, H.E. Ambassador Ahmed Araita Ali, was received by the Chairperson of the African Union Commission, H.E. Mahmoud Ali Youssouf.
💬 H.E. Mahmoud Ali Youssouf “𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒇𝒇𝒊𝒓𝒎𝒆𝒅 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝑪𝒐𝒎𝒎𝒊𝒔𝒔𝒊𝒐𝒏’𝒔 𝒘𝒊𝒍𝒍𝒊𝒏𝒈𝒏𝒆𝒔𝒔 𝒕𝒐 𝒔𝒖𝒑𝒑𝒐𝒓𝒕 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝑭𝒐𝒖𝒏𝒅𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒕𝒐 𝒂𝒄𝒄𝒐𝒎𝒑𝒂𝒏𝒚 𝒊𝒕𝒔 𝒊𝒏𝒊𝒕𝒊𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒗𝒆𝒔 𝒕𝒐 𝒑𝒓𝒐𝒎𝒐𝒕𝒆 𝒄𝒐𝒏𝒄𝒓𝒆𝒕𝒆 𝒔𝒐𝒍𝒖𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏𝒔 𝒇𝒐𝒓 𝒄𝒍𝒊𝒎𝒂𝒕𝒆 𝒂𝒄𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏 𝒂𝒄𝒓𝒐𝒔𝒔 𝑨𝒇𝒓𝒊𝒄𝒂.”
The discussions focused on ways to strengthen innovative and sovereign financing mechanisms to address the urgency of climate change, drive energy transition, and protect the environment.
The Chairperson welcomed the initiative of the Foundation, launched with Sovereign Carbon Agency Djibouti two years ago, and underlined its potential to serve as a model for other African countries.
This meeting was a fitting conclusion to the Summit that closed with a united call for climate justice, and efficient financing solutions.
President of Djibouti, Ismail Omar Guelleh made a strong plea for a “𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐝𝐢𝐠𝐦 𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐟𝐭,” sharing the success of his country’s Sovereign Carbon Initiative launched two years ago which already financed over 50 programs.
He invited all African nations to draw inspiration from this model.
