Djibouti has opened a two-day forum on climate diplomacy and climate justice, focusing in particular on carbon sovereignty and climate finance in Africa. Organised by the Institute of Diplomatic Studies and the Africa Sovereign Carbon Registry Foundation, the meeting brings together officials, diplomats and experts until Tuesday, reports ADI.

A two-day forum on climate diplomacy, sovereignty and justice opened on Monday 19 October in Djibouti, according to the Djiboutian Information Agency (ADI). Officials, diplomats and experts are discussing Africa’s role in global climate governance.

The meeting is being held at the Kempinski Hotel and is jointly organised by the Djibouti Institute of Diplomatic Studies and the Africa Sovereign Carbon Registry. Discussions are taking place as the continent, which contributes little to global emissions, is particularly exposed to the effects of climate change.
