Africa-Press – Malawi. <\/strong><\/span>President Lazarus Chakwera has accused rich nations responsible for global climate change of failing to commit adequate resources to cushion poor countries which bear the brunt.<\/p>\n

Chakwera was speaking at the \u2018High-level World Leaders\u2019 Summit on Advancing Adaptation in LDCs [Least Developed Countries]: 20 Years of Support\u2019 at the on-going 27th Conference of the Parties (CoP)27 of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change in Egypt yesterday.<\/p>\n

He said it is important that LDCs, which he chairs, around the world promote coordination as they reposition to promote their agenda. \u201cIt is an indisputable fact that LDCs\u2019 contribution to global warming is marginal at best, and yet we bear the brunt of worsening climate change impacts, with 10 percent of our economic losses being occasioned by disasters.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe also know that the flow of climate change finance from the nations most responsible for causing it is too slow and insufficient to keep pace with the worsening climate change impacts, not to say anything of the fact that the proportion allocated to adaptation is inadequate,\u201d he said. Chakwera said, for the past two years he has been chairperson for LDCs, he has been encouraged by countries\u2019 devotion to shared goals.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is now up to us to push for rapid start to the full implementation of the Doha Programme of Action. We have so much in common to enable us to do this, including the strong synergies among us in our shared work under the UNFCCC [United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change],\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Earlier in the day, Chakwera took part in a roundtable on food security. Speaking during the discussions, Chakwera asked rich countries to assist Malawi with finances to rebuild the country\u2019s infrastructure after it was destroyed by tropical storms Ana and Gombe early this year.<\/p>\n

Chakwera said investing in food production alone is not enough, saying countries must also invest in necessary infrastructure to support that production.<\/p>\n

\u201cI must hasten to add that while we need financial investment to prevent climate-induced damage and loss of food going forward, it does not address the loss and damage of food that climate change is causing right now. 3.8 million Malawians have had their food lost and damaged because of climate change right now.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo while we call on partners to support eco-friendly debt financial instruments in the form of green and blue bonds for purposes of transitioning towards a more sustainable food system, we also require financing for climate-caused loss and damage of food and other assets, such as roads, bridges, canals, power stations and markets,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Chakwera said these infrastructures are an essential part of food systems and must be repaired and restored urgently. Chakwera also engaged Global Energy Alliance for People and Planet Chief Executive Officer Simon Harford<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, governance commentator Victor Chipofya has said the appeal for finance has come late, saying the rainy season is already here and that the infrastructure in question cannot be repaired in time before the rains start.<\/p>\n

\u201cActually, the rains should have been here already. They have just delayed due to the same climate change; so, you cannot be soliciting resources to repair infrastructure now. The timing and planning is way off,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
