PRESIDENT Cyril Ramaphosa is expected to chair the virtual meeting of the Committee of African Heads of State and Government on Climate Change (CAHOSCC) on Tuesday.
“The Committee’s deliberations this week form part of preparations for COP26, the 26th United Nations Climate Change conference, which will be held in the United Kingdom in November 2021,” said the Presidency.
“The meeting will deliberate on the African Green Stimulus Programme and the current status of the international climate negotiations in light of the COVID-19 pandemic, and chart a way forward for Africa’s engagement at COP26.”
The committee will also focus on the implementation of new and on-going climate change programmes and activities by the African Union Commission, and receive updates from the three African Climate Commissions.
