The Climate Chance Association and the Assembly of Regions and Districts of Ivory Coast (ARDCI) will co-organize a regional summit dedicated to climate action in Africa.

This event aims to convene a broad gathering of non-state actors from all over Africa to share and support action to fight climate change. Through 10 thematic workshops, it will highlight good practices and define sectoral and operational roadmaps adapted to the context in African territories.
