Climatic and demographic change are global trends that are already having a profound impact on Africa. Both create growing pressure on natural and human resources, and increase the risk that political, economic, and social tensions and disagreements turn violent. Conflict often exacerbates the problems and hinders mitigating action. Neither climate nor demography are susceptible to quick or easy solutions, so long-term strategies to reduce the risks are increasingly necessary and urgent.

To address these policy dilemmas and look at actions that governments and the international community should take, Africa Confidential, the International Crisis Group and the Royal African Society are jointly hosting a major, high-level virtual conference to ensure that African voices can be heard in advance of the COP-26 Climate Conference in Glasgow in November.

Delivered in partnership with the Royal African Society, Africa Confidential and the International Crisis Group and supported by Open Society Foundations.
