| dc.description | The 12th session of the African Ministerial Conference on the Environment (AMCEN ), offers
African Ministers a platform to discuss climate change adaptation. Ministers will also review
progress made in the implementation of the action plan for the environment initiative of the New
Partnership for Africa’s Development (NEPAD). Dialogues on financing adaptation and
environmental programmes will be one of the key areas of discussion.

UNEP tasked the Stockholm Environment Institute (SEI) and a group of experts from Africa (See
Annex 2, list of authors) with producing a scoping paper on climate adaptation in Africa for the
expert meeting of the 12
th Session of AMCEN. Based on key messages from this paper, UNEP
has prepared a separate discussion paper to facilitate minister’s dialogue. Both papers aim to
assist expert’s and minister’s discussion during AMCEN, and the output of these discussions will
help plan adaptation activities in Africa and contribute to the current UNFCCC negotiations for a
post 2012 agreement on climate change. | |
