From the APS special envoy, Abdoulaye Badji
Dubai, Dec 4 (APS) – The Minister of the Environment, Sustainable Development and Ecological Transition, Alioune Ndoye, on Sunday invited the international community to focus on “certain essential concerns”, to achieve a “just and equitable energy transition” for the benefit of all countries.
”As part of this United Nations Climate Conference, we must consolidate the achievements of COP 27, which took place in Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt, by focusing on certain essential concerns.” , he said during a round table discussion devoted to a just energy transition.
”It is a question of avoiding unforeseen and brutal disinvestment in fossil fuels, which would put certain economies of developing countries in difficulty,” he recommended as part of the work of the 28th United Nations Conference on the climate.
He called for recognition of the multiple forms and stages of a “just and equitable transition” for the most vulnerable countries, such as African countries, least developed countries (LDCs) and even developing island states.
He also urged “to establish a financing framework for the just transition for vulnerable countries but also to promote an agreement on research and innovations for the development and transfer of technologies.”
Alioune Ndoye finally invited us to “ensure that the just transition is also an adaptation transition, which responds to and secures the necessary, urgent and adequate adaptation measures, for all vulnerable countries and in accordance with the conclusions of the program on ‘adaptation objective”.
