Africa-Press – Sierra-Leone. <\/strong><\/span>The 2022 Forum Facts & Figures, \u2018The Road to COP27: Making Africa\u2019s Case in the Climate Debate\u2019, highlights the need for greater consideration of Africa\u2019s specific position within the global debate on climate change.<\/p>\n

Launching exactly six months ahead of COP27 in Egypt, and immediately following the COP15 of the United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification in C\u00f4te d\u2019Ivoire, the 2022 Forum Facts & Figures provide a comprehensive analysis of the challenges and prospects of the global climate crisis from Africa\u2019s perspective.<\/p>\n

Commenting on the data, Mo Ibrahim, Founder and Chair of the Mo Ibrahim Foundation, said: \u201cAs the least industrialised continent, Africa has contributed the least to the global climate crisis, yet it is suffering the most from its consequences. Thanks to its immense ecological and mineral resources, Africa has the potential to be at the heart of a sustainable future for both the continent and the world. As we now head towards COP27, hosted on the continent, it is vital that Africa\u2019s unique position is better understood and taken in account. Leaving Africa out of the equation not only hinders efficient climate action, but it also threatens global development and security prospects.\u201d<\/p>\n

Based on the latest data, the 2022 Forum Facts & Figures first explores in detail the specific impacts of the climate crisis in Africa, and the way it intersects with pre-existing social and development issues such as poverty, food insecurity, political instability, and displacement. With the findings pointing to the need for greater consideration of African-specific vulnerabilities within global climate solutions, if only to avoid failure in achieving the SDGs and Agenda 2063.<\/p>\n

The report then analyses the critical challenge of striking the right balance between climate protection and access to energy for all on the continent with the largest energy gap globally. It highlights the hurdles still to overcome to make the most of Africa\u2019s renewable potential and the need to rethink the one-size-fits-all policies, excluding gas as a key transition fuel, adopted at COP26.<\/p>\n

The research then highlights Africa\u2019s consistent resource potential, with the continent possessing all the key assets to accelerate the global transition to a green and sustainable economy. But in order for this potential to be effectively and efficiently delivered, including in the best interest of Africa\u2019s people, the continent will need to break from the \u201cnatural resource curse\u201d, and focus on leveraging financial resources, strengthening governance frameworks and natural resource management.<\/p>\n

Key findings include:<\/b><\/p>\n

The Facts & Figures will support discussions at the 2022 Ibrahim Governance Forum, taking place virtually from Wednesday 25th to Friday 27th May on the mif.live platform.<\/p>\n

The full Ibrahim Forum Report will be published following the Forum debates, to include the main take-aways and recommendations from the Forum discussions.<\/p>\n
