Nairobi is gearing up for this year's Africa Climate Summit set to held from 4 - 8th September, 2023. 

The Summit will provide a platform for policymakers and other stakeholders in the green energy mix to discuss and provide region- focussed contributions which would help inform the global stocktake on energy systems and industry, land Ocean, food and water among many other energy related issues in the continent. 

It will further serve as a platform to inform, frame and influence commitments, pledges and outcomes ultimately leading to the development of Nairobi declaration, according to Soipan Tuya, the Cabinet Secretary for Environment and Climate Change Kenya. 

The Summit will also run parallel with the Africa Climate Week to provide a platform for policymakers, practitioners, businesses and civil society to exchange on climate solutions, barriers to overcome and opportunities realized in different regions, leading to the first global stocktake concluding at COP28 in UAE in December of this year.

Kenya being among East African Countries gravely affected by adverse effects of climate change particularly the changing weather patterns, aims to drive climate finance conversation during the Summit, according to Joseph Ng'ang'a, the Summit CEO. 

The country faces extreme weather, alternating between severe droughts and devastating flood which has not only destroyed homes and lives but also exerted a heavy toll on agriculture, one of her major economic activity and driver of growth.
