Today, the Government of Ethiopia held a high-level national media briefing in preparation for the upcoming Second Africa Climate Summit (ACS2), scheduled to take place from September 8–10, 2025, in Addis Ababa. The summit will be held under the theme: “Accelerating Global Climate Solutions: Financing Africa’s Resilient and Green Development.”

The summit is anchored on two strategic pillars:

1. Showcasing Africa-led climate solutions, and
2. Unlocking climate finance.

During the session, officials highlighted the vital role of media in shaping and amplifying Africa’s climate narrative. Key storytelling priorities leading up to the summit include:

• Promoting African-led climate solutions and innovation
• Scaling nature-based solutions
• Supporting adaptation and resilience strategies
• Elevating the voices of women and youth
• Advancing green jobs and industrialization
• Advocating for equitable climate finance
• Celebrating indigenous knowledge systems
• Encouraging regional and global collaboration

The summit is expected to feature:

• 56 high-level dialogues
• 336 side events
• 24 pavilions
• Along with multiple exhibition booths

H.E. Seyoum Mekonnen, State Minister at the Ministry of Planning and Development, briefed media representatives on the Summit’s thematic focus, anticipated outcomes—including the Addis Ababa Declaration and Africa Flagship Program Reports—and coordination efforts led by:

• The Steering Committee, chaired by the Office of the Prime Minister,
• The National Coordination Committee, chaired by the Ministry of Planning and Development, and
• Seven functional committees involving government institutions, the African Union Commission (AUC), and development partners.

Media professionals were called upon to play a central role in disseminating the Summit’s messages and mobilizing public awareness and engagement across Africa.

With just weeks remaining, the path to ACS2 is well underway. The media’s involvement in telling Africa’s climate story is more important than ever.
