We are proud to announce the first-ever Climate Forward Summit. This flagship event will bring together government representatives, private-sector leaders, civil society organizations, researchers, and community actors to accelerate climate resilience, energy transition, and sustainable agricultural practices.
Africa is experiencing mounting climate challenges that threaten food production, water security, infrastructure, and public health, especially in vulnerable communities. At the same time, momentum grows around clean energy, climate-smart infrastructure, and sustainable agriculture. Recognizing this dual imperative, IMPLEMENTERS has created the Climate Forward Summit as an annual platform to align stakeholders across sectors for coordinated, practical action.
The summit provides a neutral and action-oriented space to explore:
- How extractive industries can transition and contribute to national climate goals
- How the agriculture sector can adapt to safeguard food systems and livelihoods
- How innovations across energy, infrastructure, and policy can unlock a climate-smart future
Under the theme, “Foundations of Climate Action: Aligning Vision, Sector, and Strategy,” the Summit emphasizes inclusive governance and collaboration among government bodies, private companies, civil society organizations, indigenous communities, and individuals. This year’s summit will explore critical intersections of climate, economy, and community resilience, including:
- Climate-resilient agriculture and food systems
- Energy transition and decarbonization strategies for extractive industries
- Carbon offsetting, emissions reporting, and ESG integration
- Climate financing for farmers, agribusinesses, and local governments
- Role of data, technology, and early warning in climate adaptation
- Nature-based solutions and land restoration
- Gender and youth inclusion in green economy transitions
- Business innovation in low-carbon infrastructure and transport
As the inaugural Climate Forward Summit, this event marks the beginning of an annual forum to track progress, share new challenges, and reinforce collaborative action toward a sustainable and resilient future. Stakeholders interested in attending, sponsoring, or presenting are encouraged to watch for updates at www.theimplementers.org or contact the event organisation team via email at communications@theimplementers.org for more information.
