Nairobi- African Heads of State and Government adopted Wednesday the Nairobi Declaration, an instrument that reflects Africa's position on climate challenges.
The document, prepared at the African Climate Summit, will be submitted to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change-COP28 to be held in December this year, in Dubai.
Tuesday's session was also expected to adopt declarations by member states and guests, as well as hold dialogues on the global climate balance.
