To make #NDCs implementation integral to socioeconomicDevt planning, need to demonstrate how #NDCs unlock country socioeconomic imperatives. This is what the #EU-UN Environment Programme #AfricaLEDSProject demonstrated; European Commission Director speaks Dr. Richard Munang EU Climate Action Robert Mgendi

#NDCs implementation & youth: Premising #NDCs as accelerators of #Socioeconomic devt, pulls in NonEnvironment sectors that engage most #youth, like #ICT, 2 drive implementation. Listen as the Cameroon Environment Ministry SG speaks EU Climate Action Dr. Richard Munang Robert Mgendi

Policy is the biggest driver of change. Science and data driven policy structures are critical. The AfricaLEDS project focused on establishing structure for science and data driven policy decision making, towards ensuring optimal #NDCs implementation investments. #AMCEN

To scale lessons of the European Commission UN Environment Programme AfricaLEDS project continentally, infuse lessons in ongoing work including engaging #youth to drive #ClimateAction enterprises. This will spur entrepreneurship and create wealth for millions Robert Mgendi expounds EU Climate Action

As an example, the European Commission UN Environment Programme AfricaLEDS project mobilised #women #cassava entrepreneurs and linked them with #cleanenergy entrepreneurs and the result was enterprises engagements that fuelled investment in both clean energy and EBA. Dr. Juliette Biao Koudenoukpo Joyce Msuya

This is it sir Dr. Richard Munang, policy coherence for implementation demonstrated it's importance in mobilising crosssectorial effort needed 4 implementation. With #AMCEN2019 having reiterated urgency 4 implementation, AfricaLEDS is timely framework 4 #NDCs implementation

Absolutely sir Dr. Richard Munang, infusing in ongoing work means we avoid duplication. Involving #youth means #Africas sovereign capital, that is 4times the value of produced capital & 15times natural capital is engaged 4 posterity. Success becomes inevitable AfricaLEDS

Yes sir Dr. Richard Munang, this is actualizing #InnovativeFinancing extensively explored: from #UNEP inquiry, to the Addis Ababa action agenda, to #UNEP 2nd adaptation gap report etc. AfricaLEDS showed structure of cooperatives & risk diversification they provide key 2 realisation

Yes sir Dr. Richard Munang, enterprise approach key to mobilise multi-disciplinary skills & talents 2 drive #NDCs implementation. This is how #climateAction ambition can be achieved. AfricaLEDS demonstrated this

Yes sir Dr. Richard Munang, the AfricaLEDS has provided a framework approach to #climateAction that constitutes the foundation 4 increasing #NDCs implementation ambition. This is very timely with upcoming recommitments 4 #post2020

The European Commission UN Environment Programme #AfricaLEDS project steering committee chair & UN Environment Programme in Africa Director Dr. Juliette Biao Koudenoukpo lauded work done in countries as proving that #NDCs can be leveraged as tools 4 accelerating socioeconomic devt #AMCEN2019 ministerial breakfast Dr. Richard Munang Robert Mgendi


#climateAction ambition needs increase by 5times 2 be within limits in article 2 of #ParisAgreement. AfricaLEDS provides countries with tools 2 inform optimal investment pathways 4 increased ambition said Dr. Juliette Biao Koudenoukpo #AMCEN2019 ministerial breakfast Dr. Richard Munang Robert Mgendi


Wonderful exchange with this great group at the African Ministerial Conference on Environment on low emission strategies for Africa. UN Environment Programme is grateful to be a part of this strong partnership between African countries and European Commission. #AMCEN #ClimateAction


With implementation start coinciding with passage & shortly after ratification & entry to force of #ParisAgreement, the #EU #UNEP #AfricaLedsProject is among flagship initiatives that set into motion implemention of the global compact in #Africa Dr. Richard Munang Robert Mgendi

The passage of the #ParisAgreement and its record ratification by memberstates, majority being in #Africa, represented a watershed moment for lowEmissions devt globally. A paradigm shift towards country led, globally accountable commitments Dr. Richard Munang Robert Mgendi

Flexible design of the #EU #UNEP #AfricaLedsProject provided a broad base by which implementation logic in supporting countries set a policy & analytical framework for low emissions devt could be rapidly adapted 4 #NDCs, the preeminent leds plans Dr. Richard Munang Robert Mgendi

Through the #EU #UNEP #AfricaLeds project, countries 4 the first time have a policy planning framework to inform implementation pathways of the #ParisAgreement that maximise both #Climate & #socioEconomic benefits simultaneously Dr. Richard Munang Robert Mgendi Mr. Climate

An effective way 2 catalyse transition to the low emissions pathway implementing the #ParisAgreement, is demonstrating socioeconomic & enterprise benefits of such implementation. The AfricaLEDS #project supported countries establish such tools Dr. Richard Munang Robert Mgendi

Through AfricaLEDS countries establish policy & analytical frameworks to inform investment pathways that ensure #ParisAgreement implementation unlocks food security, income & enterprise opportunities, macroEconomic growth Dr. Richard Munang Robert Mgendi #ImplementationIncentives

#EU #UNEP AfricaLEDS supported 7 countries & provided contiental lessons of establishing a policy decision structure to ensure #ParisAgreement implementation is NO longer a regulatory requirement but an investment 4 accelerated socioeconomic growth Dr. Richard Munang Robert Mgendi
