Climate Action Africa remains dedicated to engaging with critical stakeholders and advocating for a multi-stakeholder approach to addressing climate change challenges. Recall that the organization was present at The Omniverse Summit 2024. This, the founder believes, reflects its commitment to a collaborative approach to addressing the continent’s climate challenges. 
With Africa facing pressing climate challenges from the Nile to the Niger, the forum serves as a platform for collaborative discussions and solutions to create a brighter future for the continent’s 1.3 billion people. 
With the theme “Green Economies, Brighter Futures”, speakers highlighted the urgency for immediate and collective actions in mitigating the effects of climate change in Africa and achieving global sustainability goals. 
As Africa faces increasingly severe climate impacts, CAAF24 is a platform that is committed to unifying the participation of diverse stakeholders in advancing and achieving climate action in Africa. By reinforcing the urgency of climate change through meaningful dialogue and collaboration, CAAF24 inspires concrete steps towards a more sustainable and equitable future for all.

There were breakout sessions for panel discussions and workshops that focused on key issues such as the potential of forests and carbon credits, climate financing, Nigeria’s carbon market activation, mobilizing private capital for climate-positive investments in Africa, building resilient and livable African Cities and more. Sessions were designed to encourage interactive participation and exchange of ideas among participants from diverse backgrounds and sectors. 
In addition to formal sessions, CAAF24 included networking opportunities and showcased the selection of outstanding innovations from over 800 registrations through the Deal Room, a platform that connected high-impact climate innovators in Africa with potential investors seeking to accelerate sustainable solutions.
