Global leaders back action on climate change in Africa

Political News

Over 30 heads of state and global leaders have committed to prioritizing actions that help African countries adapt to the impacts of climate change and build forward better. The leaders made the commitment during a virtual Leaders’ Dialogue convened by the African Development Bank, the Global Center on Adaptation and the Africa Adaptation Initiative.

According to AfDB, Africa faces the dual onslaught of climate change –estimated between 7 and 15 B$ each year– and COVID-19, which has claimed 114,000 lives. The bank intends to mobilize 25 B$ in financing for the success of the Africa Adaptation Acceleration Program
