The African Climate Summit in Nairobi, held from September 4th to 8th, 2023, brought together climate activists, policymakers, scientists, and organizations from across the continent and beyond. The event aimed to address the unique challenges that Africa faces in the wake of climate change, including droughts, floods, food insecurity, and more. It provided a platform for dialogue, knowledge-sharing, and forging partnerships to mitigate and adapt to the impacts of a changing climate. We were honored to participate in the summit as a stakeholder committed to environmental conservation and sustainable practices. We attended various sessions and workshops focused on topics such as renewable energy, reforestation, women involvement in climate action, water resource management, and climate-resilient agriculture.
