A 5-day Inclusive Climate Action Communications Training and Masterclass has opened today in Addis Ababa as a concerted effort to address the pressing global challenge of climate change.
Hosted by the C40 Cities in collaboration with the City of Addis, the ICA Communications Training is planned for key technical city officials and is expected to equip participating cities, including Accra, with the key knowledge, skills and perspectives required to design and effectively deliver communication strategies.
With a focus on inclusivity and accessibility, the communications training and masterclass is expected to equip participants with tools for policies and programmes that promote informal sector engagement, green jobs, and the nexus between urban informality, just transition, urban resilience and loss and damage.
Speaking at the opening ceremony, Gifti Nadi, Deputy Director for Africa C40 Cities said the ICA Communications Training and Masterclass aimed to boost the capacities of participating cities to communicate on key issues of inclusive climate action delivery, understand the concepts of loss and damage, and strengthen confidence in identifying how cities were already playing a role in the implementation of urban climate resilience.
