Interview with Patricia Scotland, Commonwealth Secretary-General during Africa Climate Summit

The inaugural Africa Climate Summit, convened by African Union and championed by HE President William Samoei Ruto, Republic of Kenya aimed to address the increasing exposure to climate change and its associated costs, both globally and particularly in Africa. With the expectation of escalating climate crises in terms of frequency and intensity, urgent action is required to mitigate these challenges.

The Summit served as a platform to inform, frame and influence commitments, pledges, and outcomes, ultimately leading to the development of the Nairobi Declaration.
