The African Development Bank will participate in Africa Climate Week 2023, hosted by the government of Kenya from 4-8 September.
The conference is taking place in parallel with the 2023 Africa Climate Summit. A platform for regional collaboration on climate action, African Climate Week will explore resilience to climate risks, the transition to a low-emission economy and collaboration on climate change solutions. It will also contribute to the first Global Stocktake, a process enabling countries and other stakeholders to see where they're collectively making progress toward meeting the goals of the Paris Agreement. That process will conclude during COP28, which will take place in the United Arab Emirates in December of this year.
The African Development Bank Group is a partner of Africa Climate Week along with UN Climate Change, UN Development Programme, UN Environment Programme (UNEP) the World Bank Group and others. The African Development Bank Group will also host an exhibition booth showcasing its Africa-wide climate action interventions.
ACW 2023 is the first of the Regional Climate Weeks 2023 and the third annual Climate Week in the region since 2021. Webcast and virtual participation elements are planned to enable broad, inclusive and transparent participation.
