Africa's vulnerability to climate change.
Adaptation means anticipating the adverse effects of climate change and taking appropriate action to prevent or minimise the damage they can cause, or taking advantage of opportunities that may arise. Adaptation is a key component of climate action that need keen attention from the stakeholders. Finance allocation should focus on adaptation, resilience and mitigation to ensure disadvantaged regions and those most affected by climate change are capable of taking the necessary measures to adapt.
To achieve sustainability there is need to support the developing economies with a special focus on Africa. A large percentage of the population have no access to infrastructure and electricity. Plans to supply electricity and ensuring use of clean and renewable energy in the developing countries need to be supported and championed by developed countries.
We need to join forces and urge our governments to support improvement of Africa economies and the transition to clean and sustainable energy.
-Only 20 per cent of climate finance is for adaptation.
