Africa Climate Week 2019, taking place in Accra, Ghana, will bring together leading sustainability innovators from the public and private sectors for an energetic and honest dialogue about African climate concerns and the next steps in combatting them. It is the first Regional Climate Week of 2019, to be followed by Asia-Pacific, Latin America and Caribbean Climate Weeks.

The event in Accra will focus on bridging the divide between parties to the UN's push for climate action and nonparty entities looking to make a difference at national and communal levels in their own ways. It will explore the rich potential of Africa to build on existing strides in energy, agriculture, and human settlements and set an example on the world stage.

Africa Climate Week will be a time for optimistic productivity. The various participants in the event are looking forward to creating a hub for dialogue and reflection in the region, where existing accomplishments can be celebrated while fresh strategies for sustainable living are presented, refined, and agreed upon.
