Abstract

Outside the international climate regime, there are several policy developments that have an impact on the climate domain. This chapter outlines and discusses such issues in detail, showing their implications on reconciling Africa’s climate and development policy. These policy developments include the tightening vice of climate ambition; divestment from fossil fuels; the adoption of coercive policy instruments such as sanctions; clean energy supply chains; aligning regional integration with climate policy; south-south cooperation; and the dynamics of structural climate targets. The chapter emphasises the need for policy makers to pay attention to and anticipate these developments, so that they do not undermine Africa’s quest for a just and sustainable transition.
