Africa-Press – Angola. <\/strong><\/span>Africa contributed the least to climate change, being responsible for only up to 4% of global emissions, though was affected the most with the Sahel region experiencing now the longest drought in the past decades and West Africa suffering from devastating floods.<\/b><\/p>\n

Ahunna Eziakonwa, Director of the United Nations Development Programme’s (UNDP) Regional Bureau for Africa, has highlighted the critical importance of the UN Climate Change Conference (COP 27) for African nations and addressed the possible outcome of the gathering.<\/p>\n

According to her, Africa needs global support to tackle the consequences of global warming. Otherwise, \u201cfailure to take immediate and adequate action\u201d will result in worsening living conditions for 60% of Africans depending on climate-sensitive livelihoods, increasing water shortages and expanding drylands, something which is likely to exacerbate existing food and water insecurities.<\/p>\n

The UNDP Africa Director noted that the most vulnerable communities \u2013 those from the fragile and conflict-affected countries. They are \u201con the frontline of climate change\u201d. In this regard, the climate change issues are compounded with peace promoting activities needed for the region to fully restore in terms of infrastructure and basic services.<\/p>\n

She also stated that Africa is endowed with significant renewable sources that are crucial to the forthcoming energy revolution and the continent\u2019s economic development. That\u2019s why the UNDP considers renewable energy as the main pillar of its investment in Africa.<\/p>\n

Despite the recent socio-economic shocks caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and global turbulence in general, she stressed that it is extremely important not to shift from the course set by the previous meetings and the Paris Agreement, and \u201ckick into stronger gear if we are to get results\u201d.<\/p>\n

As for the outcome of the COP27, the director expects the participants to reach a consensus favorable for African countries in particular. According to her, it must include increased climate financing, steps to make carbon markets more fair and available for developing countries, greater attention to climate reparations for the most affected parties, etc.<\/p>\n

The UN Climate Change Conference (COP27) is taking place in Egypt on November 6-18. This year, the conference, dubbed the “Africa COP,” mostly focuses on the environmental issues faced by African countries and the ways to address climate change.<\/p>\n
