Oxford Net Zero, in partnership with the University of Dodoma, invite you to an online interactive side event at the Africa Climate Week about inclusivity of Net Zero.

Net Zero has become a dominant framing for global climate action. The COP26 presidency has made Net Zero a central theme to the upcoming COP discussions, with the hope that countries will strengthen their commitments to Net Zero targets.

As different actors have already begun preparing and implementing their net zero strategies, it is critical that we reflect on whether the net zero framework for climate action is or can be made to be inclusive, particularly to and in the Global South.

Attendees to the Africa Climate Week are invited to attend this interactive session to discuss (i) the interpretation of Net Zero and its implementation in Africa and (ii) whether the Net Zero framework can be inclusive to the Global South.

Event program is available here.
