Kofi Adu Domfeh: A personal journey through climate negotiations – from Lima with hope to Ethiopia with purpose
Your romantic moment can be under siege by the weather. That’s how close the reality of climate change can dawn on you.
The story of Kofi Adu Domfeh's journey through climate negotiations is one of personal growth and dedication to the cause. Beginning in Lima, Peru for COP20 in 2014, Domfeh witnessed the complexities of international climate diplomacy and the determination of vulnerable countries to be heard. This experience led him to become more enthusiastic about the cause, even during his peak journalism career.
The Paris Agreement in 2015 was a defining moment in his engagement with climate change advocacy. Even then, he questioned how the commitments made in conference halls would translate into meaningful action on the ground. His work with the Pan African Climate Justice Alliance (PACJA) further solidified his understanding of the African climate narrative and the importance of collective advocacy.
The African Group of Negotiators (AGN) offered another dimension to his journey, deepening his understanding of Africa's efforts to advance its collective interests in global climate negotiations. Domfeh's journey reflects a commitment to ensuring that climate negotiations remain connected to the people they are intended to serve.
