SUMMARY:Africa Climate Week (ACW 2023)
DESCRIPTION:Africa Climate Week (ACW 2023)\, Nairobi\, 4-8 September. Hosted by the government of Kenya\, this event will be organised in parallel with the African Climate Action Summit (4-6 September)\, also hosted by Kenya. \n— \nFour Regional Climate Weeks will be held this year to build momentum ahead of COP28 and the conclusion of the first global stocktake\, designed to chart the way for fulfilling the Paris Agreement’s key goals. \n“The global stocktake is a critical turning point when it comes to efforts to address climate change – it’s a moment to take a close look at the state of our planet and to chart a better course for the future\,” said the Executive Secretary of UN Climate Change Simon Stiell. “We need regional stakeholders to identify what works for them\, and to present plans and strategies at COP28 in Dubai which are regionally applicable. This will be a key role of the Regional Climate Weeks this year.” \nThe Caribbean Climate-Smart Accelerator\, CCSA believes that Regional Climate Weeks bring together a diverse range of stakeholders for regional collaboration on climate change. Participants include representatives of governments\, the private sector\, development organizations\, youth groups and civil society opening space.  The events provide numerous opportunities to engage in solution-oriented dialogues\, to build new partnerships and collaborate on climate action projects. \nThis year’s Regional Climate Weeks aim at clustering key events ahead of COP28 which have been mandated by governments but which are not part of the formal negotiating agenda. \nAll the Regional Climate Weeks will be delivered in close cooperation with global partners of UN Climate Change – the UN Development Programme (UNDP)\, the UN Environment Programme (UNEP) and the World Bank groups – as well as regional partners. \nThe Regional Climate Weeks website.

SUMMARY:GCF Private Investment for Climate Conference 2023
DESCRIPTION:From investment to impacts \nSeptember 4-5\, 2023\, in Nairobi\, Kenya \nThe sixth annual “GCF Private Investment for Climate Conference (GPIC)” brings together global leaders from the private and governmental sectors in order to accelerate private finance for climate action in developing countries. \nThe climate situation is far too critical to rely just on the resources of government institutions. Combating climate change necessitates creative\, transformative thinking\, as well as public-private collaborations. The Caribbean Climate-Smart Accelerator\, CCSA\, believes that the GCF is critical in shifting and catalyzing private-sector-managed financing flows into low-emission and climate-resilient initiatives in developing nations.
