Yet, Africa has been facing extreme climate conditions with greater impacts for longer than most.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHere in the Horn of Africa, rains have not fallen for over four seasons, with 23 million people now facing severe hunger across Ethiopia, Kenya and Somalia. Lake Chad, once the lifeblood for millions of people in Nigeria, Niger, Chad, and Cameroon, has shrunk to one tenth of its size. And continuous flooding has ruined crops and spread vector borne diseases across Malawi, Mozambique, Madagascar, Zambia and Rwanda.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In recognizing African governments\u2019 climate initiatives, Al Jaber highlighted the efforts of the African Ministerial Conference on the Environment (AMCEN) host, Ethiopia.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEthiopia is just one country that is leading the way with its Green Legacy Initiative (GLI). Since 2019 the GLI has planted over 25 billion seedlings, enhanced sustainable agriculture, strengthened food security, exported healthy food to foreign markets and created almost 1 million new green jobs along the way.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>However, Al Jaber noted that the chronic lack of available, accessible and affordable climate finance is a major obstacle standing in the way of further progress on climate action.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCurrently, barely one tenth of global climate finance finds its way to Africa. According to the African Development Bank, almost 250 billion dollars annually is needed to meet Africa\u2019s Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) commitments through 2030,\u201d he elaborated.<\/p>\n<p>Yet, \u201cthis continent of 54 countries that contributes less than 5 percent of global emissions, receives less than 30 billion USD a year. And private finance flows to Africa are a fraction of what is disbursed to the rest of the world. These are the realities. They need to be fixed. And they need to be fixed now.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>According to Al Jaber, the AMCEN summit underway in Addis Ababa is important as it could be used to mobilize African leaders ahead of COP28 and prepare the ground for strong outcomes on finance, adaptation, and loss and damage.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/ethiopia\">Ethiopia<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Ethiopia.
