COP 30 à Belém : Le Sénégal dresse le bilan et trace la voie d'une action climatique concrète
The Minister of the Environment and Ecological Transition, Dr. El Hadj Abdourahmane Diouf, chaired a national workshop yesterday, Monday, January 13, 2026, to present the findings of the 30th Conference of the Parties (COP 30) on climate change. This event, held in the Ministry's Auditorium, aimed to share the results of the global conference in Belém, Brazil, and to initiate a collective discussion on their implementation in Senegal.
In the presence of the Environmental Advisors to the President of the Republic and the Prime Minister and before an audience of national stakeholders including parliamentarians, representatives of local authorities, ministries, technical and financial partners, civil society and the private sector, the minister presented a nuanced but hopeful assessment of this historic COP.
A COP of "truth" and solidarity in the face of the emergency
In his address, Minister Eadiouf recalled the context of the climate emergency, which weighs particularly heavily on developing countries like Senegal, exposed to drought, floods, rising sea levels, and climate-induced migration. He praised the spirit of "mutirão," a Brazilian concept of community work promoted by the Brazilian presidency, emphasizing the need for a collective and united response to the crisis.
Significant progress on financing and cooperation
The minister identified climate finance as the core of the negotiations, with vulnerable countries advocating for predictable and accessible funds, particularly for adaptation and compensation for loss and damage. He stated that the "Belém Roadmap" provides an important basis for scaling up collective action.
Among Senegal's notable achievements, the minister highlighted the signing, on the sidelines of the COP, of a bilateral climate cooperation agreement with Norway. This agreement, focused on the implementation of Article 6.2 of the Paris Agreement (carbon market mechanisms), aims to support Senegal's sustainable energy transition and to finance concrete mitigation and adaptation projects. This cooperation is directly aligned with the Senegal 2050 Vision.
Senegal, an active and recognized player
Dr. El Hadj Abdourahmane Diouf welcomed the "active and noteworthy" participation of the Senegalese delegation, which was pluralistic and representative of all the country's vital forces. The Senegal Pavilion served as a platform for high-level discussions on strategic themes such as climate finance, low-carbon pathways, and resilient agriculture, reflecting national expertise.
The challenge of national implementation
Beyond international commitments, the minister called for concrete action. "The challenge before us is clear: to translate these commitments into concrete actions, adapted to our realities," he declared. This, he believes, requires strengthened national coordination and the mobilization of all stakeholders.
In view of COP31 (Turkey/Australia), Senegal intends to stay the course and strengthen its contribution to limit warming to 1.5°C.
In closing his speech, the minister warmly thanked and congratulated the Senegalese negotiators for their professionalism in serving national and African interests, before declaring the workshop open, calling for "fruitful and constructive" exchanges for Senegal's climate future.
