Nairobi declaration

September 9, 2023

The first ever Africa Climate Summit ended with a call for world leaders to back global taxes to fund climate action.
The “Nairobi declaration” also calls for financial reforms to help African countries.
The declaration calls on the world’s biggest emitters of greenhouse gases and its richest countries to keep their promises — noting in particular an unfilled pledge of $100 billion in annual climate finance to developing nations, made 14 years ago — and for today’s world leaders to rally behind a global carbon tax on fossil fuels, aviation and maritime transport.
