The 13th Conference on Climate Change and Development in Africa (CCDA-XIII) will serve as a key technical gathering that provides a key foundation for the Second Africa Climate Summit (ACS2). It is scheduled to take place from September 5 to 7, 2025, in Addis Ababa. The conference will bring together a diverse group of stakeholders, governments, academia and research communities, civil society, Indigenous Peoples, youth, and private sector actors, to promote African-led, evidence-based climate action. The focus will be on strengthening resilience, fostering green growth, and scaling up climate finance, all in support of implementing the AU Climate Change and Resilient Development Strategy and Action Plan (2022–2032).
