Yesterday, on the final day of the Africa Climate Summit 2 in Addis Ababa, Power Shift Africa and partners hosted a session on Just Transition for Adaptation, exploring how Africa can respond to the climate crisis while advancing justice, sovereignty, and resilience.

Amy Giliam Thorp – Power Shift Africa said: “Adaptation isn’t plucked away from issues such as colonial legacy, knowledge hierarchy, debt stress, land tenure and many more. Socio-economic and political deprivations undermine adaptation and, in some instances, result in maladaptation. Adaptation sovereignty is key and centres on community priorities and social needs. Knowledge justice should drive adaptation. It puts knowledge generated from African settings at par with those of other regions, thus recognising the unique abilities of locals to self-generate ideas on how best to adapt. Adaptation justice requires recognition of historical traps and systems that undermine the capacity of locals to thrive. Adaptation isn’t just technical but also political, it must address not only climate needs but also embedded systems that brought us to the current vulnerability situation.”

Edith Santyian – Nalala Tree Foundation shared from community lived experience: “The indigenous people contribute effectively to adaptation, but are neglected in funding for adaptation. Indigenous communities have been adversely impacted by land controls over territories that previously belonged to them. Policy and research should account for the needs of the indigenous people. The inclusivity element must be mainstreamed in policy.”

Sahele Fekede – African Climate Foundation (ACF) explained: “While adaptation is an imperative for survival in Africa, intervention areas often come out as being too risky, thus private investors shy away. They often need securitisation and guarantees. African governments need to create clean and green jobs that foster justice for different groups. Mitigation investments tend to have clear input-output that attracts the private sector. NAPs and other adaptation policies lack a business case. Governments need to design NAPs in a way that makes a clear business case for investors to come in.”

Dr. Annette Windmeisser – Head of Climate, noted: “Over 50% of funds from the German government are tagged for mitigation. Adaptation projects such as JET-Ps embody a lot of adaptation elements that can be escalated to build community resilience.”
