Forum to address climate change in Africa, to hold October 26 to 28

Ifrane Forum, the African Trade and Investment Summit, has announced that its 5th edition, shading light on Africa's climate resilience, will take place from October 26 to 28, 2022.

The forum, which will hold in the city of Ifrane, with the theme: "Climate change in Africa: taking destiny in hand", will feature about 200 participants.

In this regard, Khadija Idrissi Janati, President of the Forum, said :“Africa produces less than 4% of the world's greenhouse gas emissions. However, the continent suffers the full impact of climate change, especially women and youth. Held on the eve of the COP 27, this edition will be an opportunity for reflection and mobilization. Beyond observing the situation, Ifrane Forum 2022 will highlight private sector efforts and initiatives and showcase innovative solutions developed by African start-ups to face the challenges caused by climate change. It will encourage stakeholders to become more involved in providing adequate responses to the climate emergency in Africa.”

Through 3 days of conferences, workshops and debates, Ifrane Forum 2022, will discuss the main issues related to climate change, in particular food security, impact on employment, gender and climate, private sector efforts, finance and green entrepreneurship, climate diplomacy, pollution-free industries, with the participation of experts, researchers and decision-makers from economic and political sectors representing more than 30 countries in Africa.

There will also be BtoB meetings and field visits to encourage meetings and foster collaborations between African operators.

This 5th edition of Ifrane Forum is clearly in line with the objectives set by the platform since its first edition, promoting the African private sector as a powerful partner in the development of Africa and bringing together around the same table the different stakeholders of the African economy; economic operators, politicians, non-governmental organizations, federations and professional associations and startups, thereby making this event a unique platform for intra-African cooperation.
