Africa Climate Summit Kicks Off
The African Climate Summit kicked off at the Kenyatta International Convention Centre, Nairobi, on Monday, September 4, 2023. The summit is being held under the theme of "Driving Green Growth and Climate Finance Solutions for Africa and the World".
President William Ruto arrived in a yellow electric car to officially open the Africa Climate Summit (ACS), an annual event that brings together leaders from governments, businesses, international organizations, and civil society to discuss climate change and its impacts on Africa.
The summit, which will run until Wednesday, aims to address the increasing exposure to climate change and its associated costs, both globally and particularly in Africa.
The summit is expected to also look into ways of helping African countries vulnerable to adverse effects of climate change cope with the same.
Over 30,000 delegates including over 25 heads of state and government are expected to attend the event.
The Head of State's decision to arrive in an electric car is a positive step for climate action in Africa. It shows that he is committed to reducing greenhouse gas emissions and promoting sustainable transportation.
