The United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres is the latest dignitary who has jetted into the country for the Africa Climate Summit.
Guterres was received at the Kenyatta International Airport by Foreign Affairs CS Alfred Mutua.
Also present was Asal and EAC CS Rebecca Miano and Deputy Speaker of the Kenya National Assembly Gladys Boss.
Guterres joins a list of delegates who are already in the country, including Former UN boss Ban Ki-Moon.
Heads of State already in the country include Comoros President Azali Assoumani, President of Ghana, Nana Akufo-Addo, Burundi’s Évariste Ndayishimiye and the Cote D'Ivoire Vice-President Tiemoko Meyliet Kon.
The five-day summit currently underway at KICC was officially opened by President William Ruto on Monday.
The summit has attracted over 20,000 participants from across the globe who have been registered and accredited.
The Africa Climate Summit is expected to provide an opportunity for African leaders to support big ideas that drive climate resilience, adaptation and mitigation efforts.
Stakeholders are keen to see solutions and action-oriented goals laid out in the Nairobi Declaration which is scheduled to be adopted on the final day of the summit.
Kenya's special Climate Envoy Ali Mohamed said they are certain the declaration will have an inclusive resolution that represents all stakeholders and aspirations of the continent.
"The summit will present an opportunity for our leaders to set a bold and ambitious vision for a green economic transformation, that optimises the continent’s abundant human and natural resources and integrates enhanced climate adaptation and mitigation outcomes," he said.
With the Africa Climate Summit being a key moment that will lay the ground for COP28, there is anticipation that the continent will see more commitments.
