Climate Action Africa commonly referred to as CMA is a climate resilience organization located at GRA Ikeja, Lagos. It was founded on July 14, 2021, by Grace Oluchi Mbah and Chukwuemeka Fred Agbata.[1] It provides a platform for climate consciousness with data resources to support policies on evidence-based climate issues in Africa.[2] In April 2024, Climate Action Africa formerly known as CMA announced its change of acronym to CAA. This was announced in a climate workshop in Awka, Anambra State, Nigeria.[3]

Climate Action Africa participated in the Africa Climate Summit 2023 from September 4 to 6, 2023 at the Kenyatta International Convention Centre (KICC) in Nairobi.[4][5] It is a known fact that climate change affects every facet of life, thus, the UN Climate Change News of September 2023 featured the Africa Climate Week 2023 (ACW) with a focus on strategizing solutions, especially across the continent of Africa.[6][7]
