CoP16 and CoP29: Madagascar affirms its environmental leadership

In 2025, Madagascar aims to accelerate its environmental commitments. The country adopts the theme « Madagascar, a country of actions and solutions ». After a year of progress in green diplomacy, he wants to translate those promises into concrete achievements to bolster his role on the international stage.

At the CoP16 Biodiversity Conference in Colombia, Madagascar was named the champion of resource mobilization. This recognition is a testament to its efforts to protect biodiversity and promote sustainable development. With this award, the country builds credibility with international partners and attracts more funding.

In the same dynamic, Madagascar is among the four countries in the world with a negative carbon balance. This asset gives it a strategic role in the fight against climate change. At the CoP29 climate meeting, the country joins the G-Zero coalition, reaffirming its commitment to sustainable and resilient development. This initiative is a continuation of the efforts undertaken and reinforces the country’s visibility in global environmental governance.

The Minister of Environment and Sustainable Development, Max Andonirina Fontaine, stressed the importance of a coherent approach. « Coherence and synergy are key to achieving our goals », he says. To realize these ambitions, a Malagasy delegation will be formed with representatives of various sectors. Their role will be to ensure effective monitoring of the initiatives undertaken and to ensure their implementation.

The year 2025 will be crucial for Madagascar, which must fulfill its environmental commitments. This includes mobilizing financing and deploying tangible projects to preserve its natural heritage and ensure sustainable green growth.
