Over the past four decades, AMCEN’s decisions have charted a bold path for environmental governance in Africa. These resolutions are more than policy statements—they are a testament to Africa’s growing environmental leadership and its unwavering commitment to a sustainable, equitable future.
AMCEN’s most impactful decisions, are organized around 4 thematic pillars:
Climate Action: Advancing Africa’s collective response to climate change through adaptation, mitigation, and climate-resilient development.
Nature Action: Protecting biodiversity, restoring ecosystems, and promoting nature-based solutions that support livelihoods and ecological balance.
Chemicals and Pollution Action: Tackling pollution from plastics, hazardous chemicals, and waste through innovative policies and circular economy approaches.
Land Degradation, Desertification, and Drought Action: Combating desertification and building land resilience across Africa’s drylands and degraded ecosystems.
