Togo will present 43 climate projects seeking $3.97bn, about 2,330bn FCFA (€3.55bn), at the COP31 climate conference in Antalya, which runs from November 9 to 20, news site Journal du Togo and the government news site republicoftogo.com reported on November 4. The projects cover farming and food processing, clean energy and transport, water, coastal protection and disaster risk.
Analysis: The portfolio equals 87% of the draft 2027 state budget of 2,684.1bn FCFA (€4.09bn), or an average of $92mn a project, by our calculation. Neither outlet says how much is already financed, and the government site says donors have yet to be convinced. Togo's broader climate plan needs more than $5.5bn for 2020-2030, with nearly three-quarters still unfunded, Journal du Togo said, suggesting much depends on outside lenders. Engineering, solar and water contractors would have little to bid for until projects secure funding. Togo has not published the project list. Any pledges should emerge by the end of COP31 on November 20.
