Summer’s over, and summits are back. From Nairobi to Cartagena to Cádiz, we take you inside what to expect from the key development meetings around the world this week.
First stop: Kenya, where at least 20 heads of state, along with the likes of U.N. Secretary-General António Guterres, U.S. climate envoy John Kerry, and COP 28 President-Designate Sultan Al Jaber are at the first-of-its-kind Africa Climate Summit.
Our Senior Reporter Sara Jerving has an excellent piece on what’s at stake, but also the concerns that the event will be a reunion of the usual suspects (i.e. McKinsey consultants, the Rockefeller and the Bill & Melinda Gates foundations, USAID and European governments) who risk crowding out African voices.
