CASA’s climate change lead, Jonny Casey, will be joining two panels at ADX – Climate (The Africa Delivery Exchange – Climate) on Thursday 6 October 2022. The event is hosted by Nelson Mandela School of Public Governance at the University of Cape Town with support from the Tony Blair Institute.
Jonny explained: ‘ADX – Climate is an ideal forum for building momentum on climate action and commitments among African nations and other stakeholders in the lead up to COP 27 in Egypt next month. Insights from recent CASA research and the climate adaptation finance session at the AGRF in Rwanda can inform attendees about the realities of business and investment opportunities in climate-smart agriculture in Africa’.
ADX – Climate brings together a range of experts and delivery leaders from African governments and development partners. Other speakers confirmed at the event will include senior government ministers from across Africa, leaders from IFAD, FAO, WFP and financial institutions including AfDB, AfriExim Bank.
