Climate Adaptation and Governance in Africa

Equitable Climate Finance for Africa
Current models of financing do not match Africa’s climate change priorities. With approximately 80 percent of all climate finance directed to mitigation, adaptation, which is a priority for Africa, remains grossly underfunded. This event, co-hosted by Heinrich Böll Foundation, will discuss ways of ensuring more equitable access for Africa to global climate finance.

Moving Beyond Nuclear and Coal?
The Heinrich Böll Foundation and Earthlife Africa Johannesburg invite you to a panel discussion that presents the ambitious transition of three countries (Germany, Japan and South Africa) toward a low-carbon economy in light of the risks and high costs demonstrated by Fukushima. The event tries to link both Japan and Germany's’ attempts to move away from coal and nuclear power and analyzes the reasons behind it. The developed world perspective will give insight into a community that is deeply divided on the issue of nuclear power and which needs a serious change to be ready to for the challenges ahead.
Panelists:
Arne Jungjohann, Heinrich Böll Foundation
with Michaele Schreyer, former EU Commissioner, Germany
and Kikimo Hirata, director of Kiko Network, Japan
Facilitator:
Tristen Taylor, Earthlife Johannesburg

German Pavilion, South Africa Climate Change Response Expo, Centrum Car Park, Bram Fischer Road, Durban
The German Energy Transition: A Model for South Africa?
Countries around the world are in need of reliable and clean energy. Germany is shifting away from nuclear and fossil fuels and is pursuing renewable energy in combination with innovative new electricity grid management strategies. Can this be a model for South Africa to follow?
Speakers include Hermann Ott, German MP for Alliance 90/The Greens and Barbara Thompson, Deputy Minister of Energy, South Africa (tbc). Hosted by Heinrich Böll Foundation and the German Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety (BMU)
