This APP publication was prepared in partnership with the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), African Development Bank (AfDB) and the United Nations Economic Commission for Africa (UNECA) and in consultation with the Economic Commission for Africa and the African Development Bank as input to meetings of African Ministers of Finance, of Environment, and of AU Heads of State in July. The purpose of the publication was to support African leaders in developing a strong common African position on climate change in the run-up to and at the Copenhagen Conference in December 2009. Such a common position is necessary to ensure that Africa’s special needs in terms of financing, technology transfer and technical support required to adapt to climate change and seize mitigation opportunities are acknowledged and met.
