Thapelo Phiri
Panel SpeakerAgriculture and food security in Africa are of utmost importance for the continent’s development and well-being. With a predominantly agrarian economy, Africa relies heavily on agriculture to sustain livelihoods and ensure food availability for its growing population.
However, numerous challenges persist, including limited access to modern farming techniques, inadequate infrastructure, and vulnerability to climate change.
To address these issues, Africa can focus on promoting sustainable agricultural practices such as agroecology, conservation farming, and precision agriculture. These approaches emphasize the efficient use of resources, soil conservation, and climate-resilient techniques.

Panel SpeakerAround one-quarter of global CO2 emissions come from the transportation of people and goods. Creating sustainable transportation solutions is one of the greatest challenges facing cities today but also a great opportunity for the low-carbon development of cities.
Sustainable urban mobility requires a mind shift: where transport in private cars and trucking give way to different modes of public transport.
