Mozambique’s President Daniel Chapo, is in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) this week to take part in the Abu Dhabi Sustainability Summit, a move that experts say provides a window into the country’s approach to governance and climate resilience.
The visit comes at a time when Mozambique is working to strengthen its ability to respond to climate risks and natural disasters, while also aligning its domestic policies with international sustainability standards. The summit gives the country a platform to highlight efforts in disaster management, renewable energy, and sustainable development.
Speaking to Caleidoscopio, governance expert Hélio Guiliche said the trip reflects a broader political strategy. “Chapo’s participation in forums like Abu Dhabi shows a clear intent to embed climate resilience into national policy. This isn’t just about international recognition, it has a direct effect on governance, planning, and how Mozambique prepares its communities for future challenges,” Guiliche said.
He added that the visit also highlights the need for effective coordination within government to turn international commitments into practical solutions for those affected by climate-related disasters.
Mozambique has been hit by several natural disasters in recent years, including cyclones and floods, which have tested the country’s disaster response systems.
