Mozambique has received guarantees of support in financial and material resources to continue to strengthen its capacity for climate adaptation, mitigation and resilience, President of the Republic Filipe Nyusi said on his return to Maputo from the COP27 in Sham el Sheikh, Egypt, where he participated in several high-level meetings.
At the press conference organised to take stock of Mozambique’s COP27 participation, the head of state reported on the results, announcing, by way of illustration, that the International Finance Corporation (IFC) (the World Bank Group’s private finance arm) would channel US$120 million to finance the Temane power line project.
Also in this context, the head of state reported that the World Food Program (WFP) gave assurances that it will continue to support Mozambique with a financial project of about US$20 million for the displaced, including equipment or materials for the implementation of resilience building projects, food production and fishing activities.
Multilaterally, the African Development Bank (AfDB) said that it intends to mobilize, by 2050, around US$800 million for integrated initiatives in the field of clean energy.
For its part, the World Bank, according to President Nyusi, intends to mobilize US$6 billion for countries which set up sustainable projects aimed at carbon markets. And the United Nations, in turn, has pledged to make about US$3.5 million available for climate early warning systems in developing countries.
SCALE will provide grants for verifiable emissions reductions & expand funding sources for global public goods.
Grateful to Presidents Filipe Jacinto Nyusi & @SuluhuSamia as well as Minister Tran Hong Ha for joining our launch at #COP27.

The Netherlands has declared itself open to financing water security projects, an integrated action within the scope of the World Water Conference, which it will host next year.
The President of the Republic explained that the Mozambican executive had in the various meetings made clear its vision, experiences and appeals on the need for all humanity to join in the action to protect Planet Earth.
According to President Nyusi, the importance of protecting the Miombo Forests was also stressed, with the Mozambican experience in the installation of early warning systems throughout the national territory having been highlighted and, at the same time, the shared programme of the presidential initiative, “One District, One Weather Station”.
In the same vein, there was also talk about the efforts launched by Mozambique for the installation of the Regional Centre for Humanitarian and Emergency Operations, planned for the district of Nacala, in the province of Nampula.
Filipe Nyusi also relayed that Mozambique’s vision of energy transition was shared and clarified, stressing that this transition must be gradual.
“And the use of natural gas is fundamental to generate resources that are necessary for development, as a clean energy instrument. Even because the European Union itself already considers gas as green energy,” the head of state observed.
