Climate Change Global Business Summit on Africa

The "Climate Change Global Business Summit on Africa" builds on the significant results of the Africa Climate Summit chaired by President Ruto in September 2023, and was designed to highlight the challenges and opportunities that the African continent is facing in relation to climate change, and to promote a closer cooperation between the public and private sectors in order to promote sustainable and equitable solutions.

The Summit aims to catalyze a global discussion on the crucial role of industry in building a climate-resilient Africa. Through a series of plenary sessions and panels, participants - over 150 CEOs, institutional leaders, influential stakeholders from Africa and beyond - will have the opportunity to examine best practices, innovations and policies needed to mitigate the impacts of climate change on the African continent.

The 3rd edition took place in Nairobi on March 23-24, 2026.
