Dear colleagues,<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dear friends,<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ladies and gentlemen,<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This session of our summit is dedicated to the great challenge of our time: climate change and the future of our planet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is no need to reiterate here the intensification of extreme climate events that threaten our ecosystems and endanger the lives of millions of people around the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These disruptions have become a daily reality across all continents. I will limit myself here to the case of Africa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although it is responsible for less than 4% of global greenhouse gas emissions, Africa remains the most exposed continent to the effects of climate change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Faced with this injustice, African countries are striving to implement sustainable solutions through green projects, particularly in the areas of transportation and energy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, due to insufficient access to the funding promised under international commitments, these projects are most often financed by the countries themselves, at the cost of growing debt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thus, our countries, which contribute the least to the climate crisis, are forced to bear the cost of its consequences alone. This is a double penalty, a double injustice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the energy sector, the implementation of Just Energy Transition Partnerships (JETPs) in Africa represents an opportunity for an innovative and fair energy transition, through a gradual shift from fossil fuels to renewable energy, while taking into account local economic and social realities. Indeed, we must ensure that JETPs do not sacrifice jobs or development needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To be credible and effective, JETPs must prioritize concessional financing, encourage technology transfers, strengthen local capacities, and ensure inclusive governance. It is under these conditions that they can truly drive a just and sustainable energy transition in Africa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the regional level, the innovative Great Green Wall initiative, launched in 2005 by 11 countries in the Sahel-Saharan zone, aims to halt desertification through reforestation, restoration of degraded land, the development of agro-sylvo-pastoral activities, and the improvement of food security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This initiative has now gained international recognition, notably through the One Planet Summit. Major funding pledges have been made, which is commendable. But what will make the difference is the rapid and effective disbursement of these resources for concrete actions, as close to communities as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The challenge of adapting to climate change remains critical for Africa, with droughts, floods, and heatwaves continuing to impact the living conditions of millions of people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I would like to pay tribute to Mr. Ban Ki-moon, former Secretary-General of the United Nations, for the remarkable work he accomplished as Chair of the Board of the Global Center on Adaptation, a position I am honored to now hold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In partnership with the African Union and the African Development Bank, the Global Center on Adaptation launched in 2021 the Africa Adaptation Acceleration Program (AAAP). It is the most ambitious initiative of its kind. It aims to mobilize $25 billion to strengthen Africa\u2019s climate resilience in four key areas: agriculture, infrastructure, youth and entrepreneurship, and finance and governance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I issue an urgent call to all bilateral and multilateral partners to support the second phase of the AAAP initiative for the 2026\u20132030 period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The fight against global warming must be a collective battle. Africa, the continent that pollutes the least, wants to contribute to the global effort to reduce greenhouse gas emissions; but it must not be forced to choose between development and environmental protection, nor should it fall into debt for bearing the cost of adaptation alone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In return for its efforts, it is urgent to mobilize the necessary funds to finance climate action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is together, in a spirit of solidarity and partnership that meets the scale and urgency of the challenge, that we will be able to build a sustainable future for the planet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thank you.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Chers coll\u00e8gues,<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chers amis,<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mesdames, Messieurs,<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cette session de notre sommet est consacr\u00e9e au grand d\u00e9fi de notre \u00e9poque : le changement climatique et l\u2019avenir de notre plan\u00e8te.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Il n\u2019est pas n\u00e9cessaire de rappeler ici l\u2019intensification des ph\u00e9nom\u00e8nes climatiques extr\u00eames qui menacent nos \u00e9cosyst\u00e8mes et mettent en p\u00e9ril la vie de millions de personnes \u00e0 travers le monde.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ces bouleversements sont d\u00e9sormais une r\u00e9alit\u00e9 quotidienne sur tous les continents. Je me limiterai ici au cas de l\u2019Afrique.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bien qu\u2019elle ne soit responsable que de moins de 4 % des \u00e9missions mondiales de gaz \u00e0 effet de serre, l\u2019Afrique est quand-m\u00eame le continent le plus expos\u00e9 aux effets du r\u00e9chauffement climatique.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Face \u00e0 cette injustice, les pays africains s\u2019efforcent de mettre en \u0153uvre des solutions durables \u00e0 travers des projets verts, notamment dans les domaines du transport et de l\u2019\u00e9nergie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pourtant, faute d\u2019acc\u00e8s suffisant aux financements promis dans le cadre des engagements internationaux, ces projets sont le plus souvent financ\u00e9s par les pays eux-m\u00eames, au prix d\u2019un endettement croissant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ainsi, nos pays, qui contribuent le moins \u00e0 la crise climatique sont contraints de supporter seuls le co\u00fbt de ses cons\u00e9quences. C\u2019est une double peine, une double injustice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dans le domaine de l\u2019\u00e9nergie, la mise en \u0153uvre des JETP (Just Energy Transition Partnerships<\/em>) en Afrique repr\u00e9sente une opportunit\u00e9 de transition \u00e9nerg\u00e9tique innovante et \u00e9quitable par un passage progressif des \u00e9nergies fossiles vers les \u00e9nergies renouvelables, en tenant compte des r\u00e9alit\u00e9s \u00e9conomiques et sociales locales. On doit en effet veiller \u00e0 ce que les JETP ne sacrifient ni les emplois, ni les besoins en d\u00e9veloppement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pour \u00eatre cr\u00e9dibles et efficaces, les JETP doivent privil\u00e9gier des financements concessionnels, encourager les transferts de technologies, renforcer les capacit\u00e9s locales et garantir une gouvernance inclusive. C\u2019est \u00e0 ces conditions qu\u2019ils pourront r\u00e9ellement impulser une transition \u00e9nerg\u00e9tique juste et durable en Afrique.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00c0 l\u2019\u00e9chelle r\u00e9gionale, l\u2019initiative innovante de la Grande Muraille Verte, lanc\u00e9e en 2005 par 11 pays de la zone sah\u00e9lo-saharienne, vise \u00e0 enrayer l\u2019avanc\u00e9e du d\u00e9sert par le reboisement, la restauration des terres d\u00e9grad\u00e9es, le d\u00e9veloppement d\u2019activit\u00e9s agrosylvopastorales et l\u2019am\u00e9lioration de la s\u00e9curit\u00e9 alimentaire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cette initiative a d\u00e9sormais trouv\u00e9 un \u00e9cho \u00e0 l\u2019international, notamment \u00e0 travers le One Planet Summit.<\/em> D\u2019importantes annonces de contributions ont \u00e9t\u00e9 faites, ce qui m\u00e9rite d\u2019\u00eatre salu\u00e9. Mais ce qui fera la diff\u00e9rence, c\u2019est la mise \u00e0 disposition rapide et efficace de ces ressources pour des actions concr\u00e8tes, au plus pr\u00e8s des communaut\u00e9s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Le d\u00e9fi de l\u2019adaptation au changement climatique reste entier pour l\u2019Afrique, avec les s\u00e9cheresses, les inondations et les vagues de chaleur qui continuent d\u2019impacter les conditions de vie de millions de personnes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Je voudrais rendre hommage \u00e0 M. Ban Ki-moon, ancien Secr\u00e9taire g\u00e9n\u00e9ral des Nations unies, pour le travail remarquable qu\u2019il a accompli \u00e0 la Pr\u00e9sidence du Conseil de surveillance du Centre mondial pour l\u2019adaptation, poste auquel j\u2019ai l\u2019honneur de lui succ\u00e9der.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

En partenariat avec l\u2019Union africaine et la Banque africaine de d\u00e9veloppement, le Centre mondial pour l\u2019adaptation a lanc\u00e9 en 2021 le Programme d\u2019acc\u00e9l\u00e9ration de l\u2019adaptation en Afrique (AAAP). C\u2019est la plus ambitieuse initiative en la mati\u00e8re. Elle cherche \u00e0 mobiliser 25 milliards de dollars pour renforcer la r\u00e9silience climatique de l\u2019Afrique dans quatre domaines cl\u00e9s : l\u2019agriculture, les infrastructures, la jeunesse et l\u2019entrepreneuriat, ainsi que la finance et la gouvernance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Je lance un appel pressant \u00e0 tous les partenaires bilat\u00e9raux et multilat\u00e9raux pour soutenir la 2e<\/sup> phase de l\u2019initiative AAAP sur la p\u00e9riode 2026-2030.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Le combat contre le r\u00e9chauffement climatique doit \u00eatre une bataille solidaire. L\u2019Afrique, continent qui pollue le moins veut contribuer \u00e0 l\u2019effort mondial de r\u00e9duction des gaz \u00e0 effets de serre ; mais elle ne doit pas \u00eatre oblig\u00e9e de choisir entre le d\u00e9veloppement et la protection de l\u2019environnement, ni s\u2019endetter pour supporter seule le co\u00fbt de l\u2019adaptation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

En contrepartie de ses efforts, il est urgent de mobiliser les fonds n\u00e9cessaires au financement de l\u2019action climatique. C\u2019est ensemble, dans un esprit de partenariat solidaire \u00e0 la hauteur de l\u2019enjeu et de l\u2019urgence que nous pourrons b\u00e2tir un avenir durable pour la plan\u00e8te. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
