The Adé-Nexus Centre for Energy & Climate Innovation has proposed a Global Climate Strategy to the United States, aimed for adoption by the United Nations. This strategy emphasizes a balanced approach to climate action that recognizes the importance of hydrocarbons alongside renewable energy.

It advocates for integrating the circular carbon economy, carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) while ensuring fair financing for Africa and developing regions. The proposal calls for the U.S. to co-lead this initiative, leveraging its technological strengths.

The paper highlights that heavy industries require reliable energy sources, and that current renewable strategies may not sustain global stability, especially in developing countries. It argues against restrictions on fossil fuel investments in Africa and emphasizes the need for a revised Article 6 of the Paris Agreement to facilitate climate finance and cooperation. The proposed model aims to align climate responsibility with economic growth and energy sovereignty.
