Our theme for the month of September is
How should Africa respond to a climate crisis it didn't create?

September brings a vital and timely topic for The African Federation (TAF): How should Africa respond to a climate crisis it didn’t create. This month, we will highlight the unique challenges Africa faces in dealing with climate change, despite contributing the least to its causes. We will also examine the ways Africa can navigate these environmental challenges, build resilience and advocate for fair global responses.

This month's Policy Paper will focus on how Africa can adapt to and mitigate the impacts of a crisis that threatens its development and prosperity. Join us in this collaborative endeavor as we discuss solutions that build resilience, advocate for climate justice and secure a sustainable future for Africa.

Our Values - Economic Empowerment
