African cities are confronted on a daily basis with the impacts of climate change, which are exacerbating already existing issues. These cities are increasingly experiencing the need to better comprehend climate issues while in the meantime responding to both environmental and socio-economic challenges. Around thirty cities have developed climate initiatives within the framework of the Covenant of Mayors and experiences of non-state actors are scaling up on the ground.This plenary will attempt to provide some answers to the following questions: How can urban strategies be developed to increase both the adaptive capacity of cities and mitigate their GHG emissions? How can urban strategies balance and find synergies between immediate development priorities and long-term needs for climate resilience?

TRE4 – “Green innovation and ecological transition: what experiences and good practices of companies to make SDGs a lever of performance? “
With the adoption of the Paris Agreement and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in 2015, the Humanity has set itself an ambitious and shared goal. In particular, the ODD on climate, aligned with the objective of the Paris Agreement, aims to maintain the increase in temperature below 2 ° C compared to the pre-industrial era. Companies have an interest in engaging in a strategy to fight global warming and innovate with low-carbon solutions. How does business innovation contribute to the SDG on climate? What are the most efficient low-carbon innovations? What is the sharing of experiences and initiatives to be developed in the world and especially in Africa?

This time of exchange and debates will focus on reviewing the challenges and opportunities facing African cities and territories in the context of climate change. The development and implementation of adaptation and mitigation policies at the local level will be particularly discussed, as well as the territorial declination of the Nationally Determined Contributions (NDC), the access of cities and territories to climate finance and the development of processes that meet the requirements of the MRV.
