AGENDA 2063 The Africa We Want it bears the brunt of the impact of climate change. Africa shall address the global challenge of climate change by prioritizing adaptation in all our actions, drawing upon skills of diverse disciplines with adequate support (affordable technology development and transfer, capacity building, financial and technical resources) to ensure implementation of actions for the survival of the most vulnerable populations, including islands states, and for sustainable development and shared prosperity. 17. Africa will participate in global efforts for climate change mitigation that support and broaden the policy space for sustainable development on the continent. Africa shall continue to speak with one voice and unity of purpose in advancing its position and interests on climate change. 18. Africa shall have equitable and sustainable use and management of water resources for socio-economic development, regional cooperation and the environment. ASPIRATION 2. An integrated continent, politically united, based on the ideals of Pan-Africanism and the vision of Africa’s Renaissance 19. Since 1963, the quest for African Unity has been inspired by the spirit of Pan Africanism, focusing on liberation, and political and economic independence. It is motivated by development based on self-reliance and self-determination of African people, with democratic and people-centred governance. 20. We aspire that by 2063, Africa shall: • • • • Be a United Africa; Have world class, integrative infrastructure that criss-crosses the continent; Have dynamic and mutually beneficial links with her Diaspora; and Be a continent of seamless borders, and management of cross-border resources through dialogue. 21. Africa shall be an integrated, united, peaceful, sovereign, independent, confident and self-reliant continent. 22. Africa will witness the rekindling of solidarity and unity of purpose that underpinned the struggle for emancipation from slavery, colonialism, apartheid and economic subjugation. By 2020 all remnants of colonialism will have ended and all African territories under occupation fully liberated. We shall take measures to expeditiously end the unlawful occupation of the Chagos Archipelago, the Comorian Island of Mayotte and affirm the right to self-determination of the people of Western Sahara.
