1.5°C national pathways for Africa: opportunities for sustainable development

1.5°C national pathways for Africa: opportunities for sustainable development

To help better understand the implications of the 1.5°C goal for government targets and strategies, Climate Analytics has developed a new webtool using IPCC 1.5°C compatible pathways in combination with more recent lines of scientific evidence, to show how countries can align their decarbonisation trajectories with the Paris Agreement. In this webinar we will present this analysis using Egypt, Kenya, Nigeria, Senegal and South Africa as case studies. We are also delighted to be joined by guest speaker Saliem Fakir, Executive Director of the African Climate Foundation.
