    • Ministerial Roundtable

    During the Africa Climate Summit (ACS) leaders called for the cost of debt to be lowered to a more sustainable level to support
    Africa’s climate resilient future, and for alternative solutions to Sovereign Guarantees to be established. How will policy makers on

    The Ministerial Roundtable is open for all delegates to attend.
