The Covenant of Mayors in Sub-Saharan Africa: in depth analysis of sustainable energy access and climate action plans
The Covenant of Mayors for Climate and Energy in Sub-Saharan Africa (CoM SSA) is one of the regional chapters of the Global Covenant of Mayors (GCoM). Under the CoM SSA local authorities are invited to make a voluntary political commitment to implement climate and energy actions in their communities and agree on a long-term vision to tackle 3 pillars: Mitigation and Adaptation to climate change and Access to energy. Given the priority of clean and sustainable energy access for local authorities in CoM SSA, signatories in this region have been the first assessing their status and planning actions to improve their electricity access and clean cooking availability.
This study provides a scientific assessment of the CoM SSA initiative, based on data covering mitigation, adaptation and energy access submitted by signatories through the offline reporting tool. The Sustainable Energy Access and Climate Action Plans submitted by signatories have been in-depth evaluated through a specific framework of key performance indicators. Finally, this report is the first of its kind delivering insights into the Energy Access pillar.
