African Union Chairman and Senegal President Macky Sall will attend the upcoming G20 summit in Bali representing both the AU and his own country. Sall also attended the United Nations COP27 climate meeting in Egypt where he advocated greater contributions by rich countries to help Africa adapt to climate change. The summit in Bali, Indonesia, will take place on November 15-16.
Importantly, Senegal is evolving strategies to become a low-carbon emission nation. He is expected to strike a deal with G20 members to support its transition to low-carbon energy. As reported by www.trendsnafrica.com, the Just Energy Transition Partnership (JETP) pioneered by South Africa for getting support from countries including the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany, and France for accessing funding to speed up its transition away from coal power is helping to access funds from the rich nations.
In September, while addressing the 77th session of the UN’s General Assembly, Sall advocated for a seat for the AU within the G20. This, he said, would help Africa to be an integral part of G-20 countries, where important decisions are taken that affect the world. Africa, where 1.4 billion people live should deserve a seat in G20, he asserted in his speech at the UN General Assembly.
