Adwoa Wiafe, Chief Corporate Services and Sustainability Officer at MTN Ghana, is set to deliver the keynote address at the Africa Climate Communication Summit 2025 (Virtual Edition), scheduled ahead of the upcoming UNFCCC Conference of the Parties (COP) in Brazil this November.
The summit, held under the theme “Towards a Climate Resilient Africa through Strategic Communication”, will focus on how communication can drive collective climate action across the continent. It is expected to convene storytellers, journalists, communication experts, and creative artists from across Africa and beyond—including participants from Benin, Mali, Nigeria, and the United Kingdom—to exchange ideas and share practical approaches for bridging the gap between science, policy, and everyday realities of climate change.
Driving Sustainability Through Communication
As a leading voice in corporate sustainability, Adwoa Wiafe has consistently championed the integration of environmental responsibility with business growth. At MTN Ghana, she has played a pivotal role in advancing the company’s sustainability pillars, which emphasize:
Reducing carbon emissions and adopting green technologies
Promoting inclusive community development and digital inclusion
Upholding ethical leadership, transparency, and accountability
Her keynote address is expected to highlight how strategic communication can transform climate challenges into shared opportunities, ensuring that messages reach policymakers, businesses, and local communities in ways that inspire meaningful, measurable action.
Linking Business and Climate Action
Wiafe’s presentation will also underscore the critical role of the private sector in climate action, drawing on MTN Ghana’s sustainability journey and linking it to Africa’s broader climate agenda. She will stress that when businesses adopt effective communication strategies, they can become powerful catalysts for climate resilience by building trust, understanding, and collaboration across sectors.
Speaking ahead of the event, Adwoa Wiafe remarked: “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.”
Africa’s Story, Africa’s Voice
The Africa Climate Communication Summit 2025 comes at a critical moment as the continent grapples with increasing climate risks while showcasing immense potential for innovation, resilience, and community-driven solutions. Organizers emphasize that Africa’s story must be told boldly and inclusively—not as victims of climate change, but as key players shaping a resilient global future.
