The Head of State also noted that the CGA intends to inspire the world to thrive with nature instead of pursuing dangerous course of seeking to thrive at nature's expense.

“The Centre spearheads the Africa Adaptation Acceleration Program, a focal point collaboration with the University of Nairobi, African Development Bank, and the African Union Commission, as part of the continent’s response to the climate crisis,” he added.

GCA is a global organization that works as a solutions broker to accelerate action and support for adaptation solutions.
