President William Ruto on Monday officially opened the Africa Climate Summit 2023.
This is the first-ever climate summit co-hosted by Kenya and the African Union.
Ruto welcomed all delegates who responded to the call to attend the summit.
"I welcome everyone to the Africa Climate Summit. You have not just stepped into a conference hall but into the future. This is no ordinary summit," he said.
He said the summit that is scheduled from September 4 to 6 seeks to profile Africa as part of the climate crisis solution.
Ruto said it is not a summit of blame games but one where everybody comes to the table to find solutions.
"We are all convened here for the first-ever Africa climate summit so as to come up with solutions in tackling the climate crisis," he said.
