About ALIC

The International Climate Alliance (ALIC) was founded in Paris on August 31, 2022. Our foundation is built on equity, active solidarity, cooperation, humanism, and economic sustainability. Our focus is on addressing the specific needs of the African population and its diaspora, considered the sixth region of the African continent. ALIC is a non-governmental organization formed by a coalition of dedicated individuals, African civil society forces, and diaspora members. We strive to play a crucial role in resolving the challenges related to climate and socio-economic disruptions and issues with drinking water and sanitation that affect all Africans. Our strength lies in our diverse backgrounds and experiences, which provide us with a comprehensive understanding of common aspects, the specificities of our environments and societies, and our strengths and weaknesses.
