KAS-International IDEA Regional Dialogue for Climate Deliberation in Sub-Saharan Africa

Regional Dialogue for Climate Deliberation in Sub-Saharan Africa

Climate change is one of the defining challenges of our time, which will determine the fate of coming generations on our planet. Climate action since the 2015 Paris Agreement shows that while solutions are available, neither ambition nor implementation are progressing at the required pace. Democratic institutions must adapt not only to protect societies and the environment, but also since climate change poses an existential risk to democracy. Democracy will struggle to remain a credible and legitimate political system if it does not promote effective solutions to the climate crisis.

Das südliche Afrika nach dem Wahljahr 2019

In May 2019 the African National Congress (ANC) won another, though this time unconvincing, electoral victory in South Africa. President Ramaphosa has to deal with a difficult political and economic situation after the “State Capture” of the network around former president Jacob Zuma. Ramaphosa’s “New Dawn” pledges of economic growth and anti-corruption have so far not been implemented with the desired effectiveness, not least due to intra-party disputes within the ANC. At the same time, the largest opposition party, the Democratic Alliance (DA), struggles to find a new strategy after internal disputes and the election of a new leadership which raises new questions about the role of opposition parties and coalition building.
