Adwoa Wiafe, Chief Corporate Services and Sustainability Officer at MTN Ghana, will deliver the keynote address at the Africa Climate Communication Summit 2025 (Virtual Edition). The summit, themed “Towards a Climate Resilient Africa through Strategic Communication”, takes place ahead of the UNFCCC COP in Brazil this November.
As a leading voice in corporate sustainability, Wiafe has consistently championed the integration of environmental responsibility with business growth. At MTN Ghana, she has been instrumental in advancing the company’s sustainability agenda, focusing on reducing carbon emissions, adopting green technologies, driving inclusive community development and digital inclusion, and promoting ethical leadership, transparency, and accountability.
Her keynote will highlight how strategic communication can transform climate challenges into shared opportunities, ensuring that messages resonate with policymakers, businesses, and communities in ways that inspire meaningful action.
The Africa Climate Communication Summit will bring together storytellers, journalists, communication experts, and creative artists from across Africa and beyond, including Benin, Mali, Nigeria, and the United Kingdom. Participants will exchange ideas and experiences, exploring how communication can bridge the gap between science, policy, and the everyday realities of climate change.
Wiafe’s keynote is expected to focus on the critical role of the private sector in climate action, linking MTN Ghana’s sustainability journey with Africa’s broader climate agenda. She will emphasize that business can be a powerful force for good when communication is used to build understanding, trust, and collaboration.
Speaking ahead of the event, Wiafe noted:“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.”
The Summit comes at a crucial time, as Africa faces growing climate risks but also demonstrates immense potential to lead with innovation, resilience, and community-driven solutions. By putting communication at the heart of climate action, the event calls for Africa’s story to be told clearly, boldly, and inclusively—not as victims, but as key players in shaping a resilient future.
