Mr Kakubo explained that with Zambia being the Chair of the Africa negotiation team in the lead up to COP28, the Abu Dhabi Sustainability Week (ADSW) provides an opportunity for the country to share ideas with other like-minded nations and institutions on sustainable renewable energy that resonates with the existing global climate change issues.
