NO The 12th session of the African Ministerial Conference on the Environment (AMCEN ), offersAfrican Ministers a platform to discuss climate change adaptation. Ministers will also reviewprogress made in the implementation of the action plan for the environment initiative of the NewPartnership for Africa’s Development (NEPAD). Dialogues on financing adaptation andenvironmental programmes will be one of the key areas of discussion.1UNEP tasked the Stockholm Environment Institute (SEI) and a group of experts from Africa (SeeAnnex 2, list of authors) with producing a scoping paper on climate adaptation in Africa for theexpert meeting of the 12th Session of AMCEN. Based on key messages from this paper, UNEPhas prepared a separate discussion paper to facilitate minister’s dialogue. Both papers aim toassist expert’s and minister’s discussion during AMCEN, and the output of these discussions willhelp plan adaptation activities in Africa and contribute to the current UNFCCC negotiations for apost 2012 agreement on climate change.
