The World Climate Action Summit during COP28 on December 1st and 2nd promises a pivotal moment in the global fight against climate change. The World Leaders Summit, a central component of this event, is anticipated to bring together heads of state and government officials to deliberate on crucial issues. Expectations are high for the announcement of ambitious emission reduction commitments, increased climate financing, and cooperative strategies to accelerate the implementation of the Paris Agreement.
In parallel, the Local Climate Action Summit will spotlight the indispensable role of local governments in addressing climate challenges. This parallel event will likely feature showcases of innovative projects and policies from cities and regions worldwide, emphasizing the significance of local-level initiatives. The summit aims to foster collaboration, encouraging the exchange of ideas and best practices between local and international actors. Collectively, these dual summits at COP28 represent an opportunity for collaborative multi-level collaboration.
The essential thing is that our challenges are almost the same, with some minor differences – this elicits lots of ideas about the potentials in our city.

The Future of Africa’s Sustainable Cities: Why Clean Cooking Matters report
“The Future of Africa’s Sustainable Cities: Why Clean Cooking Matters” report, co-developed by ICLEI Africa and the Clean Cooking Alliance, underscores the urgent need for clean and context-relevant cooking solutions by articulating the environmental, climate and health benefits of clean cooking.
This report is a call to action to all African governments and city leaders who are grappling with the complex challenges of climate change, air pollution, forest degradation, energy poverty and inequality in rapidly growing and urbanising cities across the continent, to prioritise clean cooking. Clean cooking is an immediate cross-cutting solution that can deliver a range of benefits across these critical focus areas and is essential for a just transition.
