CABO VERDE - Approval of the Climate Governance Framework
On 7 May, the Cabo Verde Climate Governance Framework was approved by the Council of Ministers of the Government of Cape Verde and published in the Official Bulletin on May 10 through Resolution No. 28/2024. The drafting of this framework benefited from the technical support of the Climate Action Programme, funded by Luxembourg Cooperation (International Climate Finance).
The Climate Governance Framework represents one of the major milestones of the Climate Action Programme with the institutionalisation of the entire decision-making, advisory, coordination and implementation process for Cape Verde's climate policy. The framework includes the inter-ministerial Council for Climate Action, chaired by the Prime Minister, the National Council for the Environment and Climate Action and the National Secretariat for Climate Action, which will have units dealing with financing, transparency, knowledge/communication and alert and diplomacy, as well as the Citizens' and Climate Forum.
These bodies, along with the Climate and Environment Fund, will contribute to the pursuit of functions related to:
- decision-making;
- coordination;
- climate negotiation;
- knowledge management and early warning;
- mobilidation and management of climate support;
- communication and awareness;
- implementation and transparency; and
- monitoring and evaluation, focusing on inclusive processes, institutional coherence, and scientific excellence.
The approval of Climate Governance Framework is one of the major milestones of the Climate Action Programme, contributing to the efficient and effective management of climate assets, through the strengthened coordination of all national actors.
The programme will soon share more information about the operationalisation of this framework, which will greatly contribute to strengthening coordination and inter-institutional cooperation – public, private, civil society and academia – so that everyone's efforts contribute to the resilience of Cape Verde, its people and ecosystems.
The Climate Action Programme is funded by the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg (Ministry of the Environment, Climate and Biodiversity) and Cabo Verde, and implemented by LuxDev, the Luxembourg Development Cooperation Agency.
