In order to achieve its mandate as part of the Local Government Climate Roadmap process, ICLEI Africa, together with South African Cities Network (SACN) and United Cities and Local Governments (UCLG-A) and working closely with other partners and key role players, hosted the African Local Government Climate Roadmap Pre-Copenhagen Summit.

The aim of this African Summit was to facilitate a horizontal and vertical mobilisation towards concrete action and a consolidated voice from African local governments regarding the UN Climate Framework. This was achieved by providing a platform for African local governments to unpack the climate debate, the practical implications, priorities and needs for action at the local level and to gain an understanding of the role and position of Local Governments in the post-2012 Climate Framework negotiations.
