Kenya and Tanzania have struck a ‘power-sharing’ deal that will see them co-chair the African Group of Negotiators (AGN) for a period of two years, with each country being in the driver’s seat for a year.
This means that Kenya will be at the helm of AGN in 2024-2025 during the world’s biggest climate meet (COP29) that will be held in Baku, Azerbaijan, later this year, after which Tanzania will take over for 2025-2026 period.
