Speaking on the second day of the Africa Climate Summit, President Ruto said it was not too much to ask as many African nations were facing debt distress due to climate change. "Africa had lost 2.5 million head of livestock, among other things, due to climate change," he said. He said the summit was both Africa's climate summit and a global pre-COp28 meeting where Africa would speak, and the world would listen. President Ruto said Africa has an unprecedented opportunity to turn away from the well-trodden unsustainable path. Speaking at the Youth Summit on Sunday, President Ruto said the world had witnessed the immense potential that African youth could unleash.
