AICCRA at Climate Week NYC 2022

Accelerating Impacts of CGIAR Climate Research for Africa (AICCRA), the World Bank and Columbia University's Climate School host a hybrid event for Climate Week NYC 2022: In a global crisis, Africa's opportunity for a climate-smart future.

Coinciding with the United Nations General Assembly and on the cusp of the UNFCCC COP27 climate change summit in Sharm El-Sheikh, this event provides an ideal opportunity to put climate action in Africa on the global agenda. Faced with a food crisis driven by conflict, covid and climate change, we as a global community must radically accelerate action for climate-smart agriculture.

This event will bring together speakers from the worlds of politics, science, social activism, and journalism to collectively craft a common message on what Africa’s global partners need to deliver at UNGA and COP27.
