๐ #AfricanVoicesAtCOP30: Local leaders taking action
Fatimetou Abdel Malick, Council President of the Region of Nouakchott (Mauritania), is among the #CoMSSA Regional Mayors Forum members calling for climate finance that reaches the local level, where high-impact solutions are already being delivered.
๐ #AfricanVoicesAtCOP30: Local leaders taking action
African cities are on the frontline of #loss and #damage. #CoMSSA RMF chair, Emile-Gros-Raymond Nakombo, Mayor of Bangui (Central African Republic), is calling for the voices of sub-Saharan African local governments and the communities they serve to be heard by the Loss & Damage Fund board.
๐ #AfricanVoicesAtCOP30: Local leaders taking action
At the Africa Climate Summit 2, the #CoMSSA Regional Mayors Forum, 12 mayors from across sub-Saharan Africa, agreed on 3 political messages to carry forward through the Summit and towards COP30:
1๏ธโฃDevolved climate finance for local governments,
2๏ธโฃInstitutionalising multilevel governance for NDC delivery,
3๏ธโฃAddressing loss and damage through just and inclusive climate transitions.

#CoMSSA highlights at @ACS2ET ๐
At the opening plenary of #AfricaClimateSummit2, powerful provocations from heads of state and high-level speakers reminded us: the #climate crisis is not only an environmental issueโit is a profound development challenge. Multilateralism and inclusive governance are essential to building resilience.
Local leadership in action ๐
In side sessions hosted by the Climate Heritage Network, CoM SSA Regional Mayors Forum membersโthe Mayor of Walvis Bay (Namibia), Trevino Forbes and the Deputy Governor of Embu County (Kenya), Justus Mugoโemphasised the role of #heritage and traditional knowledge as pillars of #adaptation planning.
Mayor Forbes stressed the value of peer-to-peer learning through CoM SSA to co-create grounded, context-specific solutions.
๐ฑCulture as a catalyst for climate action
Dr Kate Leigh Strachan, CoM SSA Secretariat Coordinator, showcased how African cities are innovating at the intersection of culture and climate. In Quelimane (Mozambique) national commitments on mangrove protection have been translated into land-use policies that reduce flood risk while reinforcing cultural practices of stewardship.
Scaling local solutions for energy access
In a session co-hosted by ICLEI Africa, CoM SSA, and SESA Project Mayor Adamou Abdon of Garoua-Boulai shared how local governments can empower SMEs to scale solutions that boost access to clean #energy across African cities.
๐ Flipping the narrative: African cities are stepping up as climate leaders, and the data proves it.
Last year, #CoMSSA signatories were awarded a record number of badges by @Mayors4Climate . Each badge represents a milestone in the Sustainable #EnergyAccess and #ClimateAction Plan (SEACAP) journey, from assessing #emissions to setting targets to developing a plan of action.
For too long, #AfricanCities have been framed as lagging โ constrained by resources, capacity, or data. But the data shows the opposite: bold local leadership driving change in the face of crisis.
๐ Our #cities know: you canโt manage what you donโt measure. They are tracking progress, reporting transparently and taking action.
Every badge earned signals local governments taking charge of the climate crisis, with vision, commitment and data to back it up.
We continue, on todayโs series of #letschat PR Prioritizes Authentic Communication to Foster Trust and Build a Positive Public Image. Letโs hear from you in the comment section. #weloveComSSA #pr #communication #letschat #upsa #ComSSA

๐ In 2024, #CoMSSA Mayors led the charge for local climate action on global and regional stages. Here's how theyโre shaping a sustainable urban future:
๐๏ธ Africa Urban Forum (AUF)
CoM SSA Mayors shaped the draft AUF Declaration, ensuring it tackled:
โข Social inequalities
โข Informal settlements
โข #Migration
โข The needs of women and the elderly
They emphasised integrating the #SDGs into climate responses and called for local governmentsโour frontline climate respondersโto have a stronger voice.
๐ก #Innovate4Cities
Mayors showcased solutions to building climate-resilient cities that prioritize vulnerable populations. Their leadership demonstrated the critical role of local governments in planning and adaptation.
๐ World Urban Forum (@WUF12Egypt )
Building on AUF momentum, CoM SSA Mayors led impactful discussions on:
โข Tackling urban waste
โข Strengthening climate resilience
โข Increasing local access to climate finance
๐ COP29
At the Third Annual Ministerial Meetings on Urbanisation and Climate Change, CoM SSA Mayors called for:
1โฃDirect local access to climate finance
2โฃAdvancing resilience and equity
From pavilion sessions to plenaries, they amplified local voices on the global stage. While COP29 fell short of bold commitments, CoM SSA remains resolute in prioritizing local action as the backbone of global solutions.
