An estimated 30,000 delegates are expected to attend the forthcoming Africa Climate Summit, the government has said.
A Cabinet meeting held on Tuesday noted that the Summit which will be held from September 4- 6 has attracted immense global interest.
"The Summit will be graced by over two dozen Heads of State and Government, high-level representatives of development partners and international institutions, as well as subject experts," the meeting noted.
President William Ruto chaired the meeting at the Kakamega State Lodge.
The Africa Climate Summit (ACS) will be organized in parallel with this year's Africa Climate Week from September 4-8.
The inaugural Africa Climate Summit is organized by the African Union Commission in collaboration with Kenya as the host country.
The Summit will serve as a platform to showcase progress, exchange perspectives and begin convergence on common priorities for global discussions on climate change.
It will enable African countries to define detailed plans and practical approaches to countering climate challenges and enable Africa to renew its vision and become more assertive in pursuing a climate and development agenda through a unified approach.
Leaders at the summit are also expected to make an African Leaders Nairobi Declaration on Green Growth and Climate Finance Solutions and call on AU member states and supporting partners to champion its delivery.
