At the Climate Summit hosted by the Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia, the Saharawi delegation will focus on Africa’s role in confronting climate change, given that it is the most affected despite its low contribution to global emissions. They will also seek to transform international promises into tangible financial commitments to support renewable energy and climate adaptation projects.
The delegation will also participate in the Africa-Caribbean (CARICOM) Summit, which strengthens political ties between the African Union and Caribbean nations. This summit provides a unified diplomatic force for both sides in international forums, and it affirms their support for just causes and the right of peoples to self-determination, including the Saharawi issue.
The summit provides an opportunity to establish an African-Caribbean axis capable of influencing the balance of international politics and strengthening the presence of the Global South in the face of international challenges.
