Africa Decides: Ports, Power and Prosperity

​Around 90% of Africa’s trade moves by sea, and the global rules to cut shipping emissions will shape the continent’s costs, ports and opportunities for decades.

​Green electrification and industrialisation are central to Africa’s development and access to clean, reliable power can help unlock infrastructure and climate finance. But when underrepresented voices are absent from the negotiating table, no one makes that case on their behalf.

​Ahead of COP31 in Antalya, join the PATNA Initiative for a conversation on what Africa needs from the negotiations, and why this COP matters to women, developing countries, Indigenous Peoples and young people.

​Speakers:
• Dr. Dola Oluteye, UCL
• June Bartuin, PATNA Initiative
• Joanna Osawe, WiRE
• Jadwiga Najder, European Nuclear Society
• Gayatri Karnik, Anthropocene Institute

​Moderator: Nancy Amam, Communications Lead, PATNA Initiative
