Adwoa Wiafe, Chief Corporate Services and Sustainability Officer at MTN Ghana, will take the spotlight at the Africa Climate Communication Summit 2025 (Virtual Edition), where she is scheduled to deliver the keynote address. Her presentation will showcase MTN Ghana’s sustainability journey while highlighting the powerful role of communication in advancing Africa’s climate resilience.
The summit, themed “Towards a Climate Resilient Africa through Strategic Communication”, takes place ahead of the UNFCCC COP Conference in Brazil this November, positioning Africa’s voices and stories at the center of the global climate dialogue.
MTN Ghana’s Sustainability Story
As a respected corporate sustainability leader, Adwoa Wiafe has spearheaded MTN Ghana’s efforts to integrate environmental responsibility, community development, and ethical leadership into its operations. Under her stewardship, the company has prioritized:
Reducing carbon emissions and transitioning to green energy solutions
Promoting inclusive community development and digital inclusion
Strengthening transparency, accountability, and ethical business practices
Her keynote will detail how MTN Ghana’s sustainability strategy aligns with Africa’s broader climate agenda, demonstrating how a private sector giant can champion climate action while driving business growth and community empowerment.
Communication as a Climate Tool
Wiafe’s message will emphasize that strategic communication is central to climate action. She will stress that beyond raising awareness, effective communication and storytelling can bridge the gap between science, policy, and community realities, ensuring climate challenges are translated into opportunities for collective resilience.
“Climate communication is more than just awareness, it is about mobilizing action. At MTN Ghana, we are committed to telling Africa’s climate story in a way that empowers people, protects the environment, and secures a sustainable future for generations to come,” said Wiafe ahead of the summit.
A Pan-African Exchange of Ideas
The Africa Climate Communication Summit will bring together journalists, scientists, communicators, creative artists, and policymakers from across Africa and beyond, with participants expected from Benin, Mali, Nigeria, and the United Kingdom.
Through knowledge-sharing sessions, panel discussions, and storytelling showcases, participants will explore how communication—whether through media, digital platforms, or art—can inspire climate action, build resilience, and strengthen collaboration across borders.
Reframing Africa’s Climate Story
The summit comes at a crucial time, as Africa faces increasing climate threats, from droughts and floods to rising food insecurity. Yet, the continent also holds immense potential for innovation in renewable energy, sustainable agriculture, and green technology adoption.
Wiafe’s keynote will underline the importance of reframing Africa’s story—not as a continent defined by vulnerability but as a key player, innovator, and leader in shaping a sustainable future.
