African Development Bank Vice President Dr. Kevin Kariuki will lead a delegation to Egypt, the host country for this year’s United Nations Climate Change Conference 2022, for exploratory talks on how the Bank and Egypt can collaborate to make COP27 a truly breakthrough event for people and planet.  COP 27 is scheduled for November 2022 in the coastal city of Sharm El Sheikh.

Kariuki, the Bank’s Vice-President for Power, Energy, Climate and Green Growth, will meet several ministers, including Dr. Rania Al-Mashat, Egypt’s Minister of International Cooperation, Egypt’s Minister of Environment Dr. Yasmine Fouad, Mr. Sameh Shoukry, Minister of Foreign Affairs, and Dr. Mohamed Shaker El-Markabi, Minister of Electricity and Renewable Energy.  The visit will take place from 13 to 17 March 2022.

Ahead of the mission, Kariuki said it was essential to start early engagements with Egypt and key stakeholders as well as partners. “The African Development Bank will work with Egypt to build on the outcomes of COP26 and to ensure that our African COP27 is an overwhelming success.”

The Bank’s engagement with the Egyptian authorities will advance the Glasgow to Sharm-El-Sheikh work programme on Global Goal on Adaptation with a view to securing a safe and resilient future for the planet.  Also on the table will be the establishment of a platform for dialogue with African countries on developing a common position on climate change and further amplifying Africa’s voice at COP27.

The Bank delegation will additionally discuss ways to showcase Egypt’s pioneering initiatives for advancing green transformation, including the recently launched 2050 National Climate Change Strategy, and how these can be replicated in the developing countries, including in Africa.

“Egypt has undertaken tremendous efforts to address climate change vulnerability and impacts on the key sectors (energy, transport, waste, water, industry and agriculture) and has invested significantly to put forward measures to enhance their resilience. It is important to showcase these achievements”, Kariuki said.
