Tax Justice Network Africa (TJNA) will join policymakers, civil society organisations, researchers, and climate advocates from across the continent at the 5th Africa Regional Conference on Loss and Damage, taking place from 25 – 27 March 2026 in Lilongwe, Malawi.
Held under the theme “Advancing Sustainable, Equitable and Just Financing and Technical Support for Loss and Damage in Africa,” the conference will focus on strengthening Africa’s response to the escalating impacts of climate change, particularly the growing challenges of loss and damage (L&D) affecting vulnerable communities across the continent.
The conference will provide a platform for dialogue on financing, assessment methodologies, and technical assistance needed to address climate-related losses while advancing Africa’s priorities within the global climate negotiations.
TJNA will be participating as follows;
