Kenya has been designated to co-host the Global Centre on Adaptation (GCA).
GCA is an international institution on acceleration action on climate change whose headquarters are in Rotterdam, the Netherlands.
The deal was reached during a GCA meeting hosted by President William Ruto at Sagana State Lodge graced by former Senegal President Macky Sall of Senegal, the new chair of the GCA board.
In the deal, GCA will have a dual headquarters in Nairobi.
Taking to social media, President Ruto thanked the United Kingdom, Norway, France, Denmark, Canada, the Netherlands, and the Gates Foundation for standing firmly with Africa on matters of climate.
"Though Africa is the most affected continent by the climate crisis, it is, however, the cradle of green innovation and provides the world with the best opportunities for mitigating the effects of climate change," said Ruto.
