Africa’s climate future will not be defined in boardrooms-it will be built in communities.
A just transition must rise from the ground up-rooted in local knowledge, powered by enterprise, and led by those living the transformation every day.

Join us for this thought-provoking fireside chat hosted by INCLUDE, ENERGIA, Sustainable energy for all, Global Women’s Network for the Energy Transition, UNIDO, and the Gender and Energy Compact, where we’ll explore how local governance, community innovation, and regional collaboration are shaping Africa’s leadership in the global climate transition.

Moderator: Anika Altaf – Executive Director, INCLUDE Knowledge Platform
Featured Speaker: William Carew – Head of the African Union Economic, Social and Cultural Council (AU ECOSOCC)

Be part of the conversation redefining what climate justice means for Africa and the Global South.
