The Ibrahim Governance Weekend (IGW) brings together leading voices from across Africa and beyond to discuss issues of critical importance to the continent’s progress.

Six months ahead of the COP27 summit hosted by Egypt and following the COP15 summit in Côte d'Ivoire, the 2022 Ibrahim Forum aimed to help inform and articulate Africa’s position in the global debate around climate change.

Discussions at the Ibrahim Forum were informed by new research from the Mo Ibrahim Foundation and perspectives from the Now Generation Forum, a convening of young African leaders.
