What we do
The AGNES is a not-for-profit think tank of African experts and practitioners that provides evidence-based technical support to the African Governments and the African Group of Negotiators (AGN) that enhance effective engagement in the international and national climate change policy formulation, implementation and decision making. For example, the AGNES played a critical role at the 23rd Conference of the Parties (COP23) of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) held in November 2017 in Bonn, Germany resulting in the adoption of the two historic decisions on agriculture (Koronivia Joint Work on Agriculture) and gender (Gender Action Plan).
