Kenyan President William Ruto and Dr. Sultan Bin Ahmed Al Jaber, Minister of Industry and Advanced Technology of the United Arab Emirates (UAE), COP28 President-Designate will bolster their collaboration during the upcoming African Climate Action Summit and COP28.

Kenya is to host Africa Climate Week in Nairobi from September 4th to 8th, building momentum ahead of the 2023 Conference of the Parties of the UNFCCC, more commonly referred to as COP28. The leaders underlined the significance of such events as they provide an opportunity for the international community to agree on future paths that focus on practical solutions to mend the climate crisis.

Climate change is one of the greatest challenges confronting the world today. Both the African Climate Action Summit and COP28 will be critical milestones in the year of the Global Stock.  The international community would come together and provide a solutions-oriented path forward. Also, both countries are determined to work hand in hand to ensure COP28 and the African Climate Action Summit would deliver real and tangible results for the climate and for the people of Africa and the world.
